For which I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
But the Lord said unto him, Go your way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not you my work in the Lord?
Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor the things they affirm.
To this I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
