Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Seeing that I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,
While they were serving the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”
Then he said to me, ‘Go, because I will send you far away to the Gentiles.’”
But the Lord said to him, “Go, because this man is my chosen instrument to carry my name before Gentiles and kings and the people of Israel.
to reveal his Son in me so that I could preach him among the Gentiles, I did not go to ask advice from any human being,
I went there because of a revelation and presented to them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. But I did so only in a private meeting with the influential people, to make sure that I was not running – or had not run – in vain.
To me – less than the least of all the saints – this grace was given, to proclaim to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ
For this I was appointed a preacher and apostle – I am telling the truth; I am not lying – and a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
