But I don’t consider my life worth even a single mention. Instead I aim to finish my race and the deacon-work which I received from the Lord Jesus—to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John. For the works which the Father gave me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me, that the Father has sent me.
For I tell y’all, that which is written must be completed in me: ‘He was counted among the transgressors.’ For what was written about me is reaching completion.”
