How are they to call on one they have not believed in? And how are they to believe in one they have not heard of? And how are they to hear without someone preaching to them?

I became a servant of this gospel according to the gift of God's grace that was given to me by the exercise of his power.

For this gospel I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher.

and if he did not spare the ancient world, but did protect Noah, a herald of righteousness, along with seven others, when God brought a flood on an ungodly world,

I speak

For God, whom I serve in my spirit by preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness that I continually remember you

I am telling the truth in Christ (I am not lying!), for my conscience assures me in the Holy Spirit --

The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is blessed forever, knows I am not lying.

I assure you that, before God, I am not lying about what I am writing to you!

A teacher

Then the Jewish leaders said to one another, "Where is he going to go that we cannot find him? He is not going to go to the Jewish people dispersed among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, is he?

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.

Then he said to me, 'Go, because I will send you far away to the Gentiles.'"

I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles, to whom I am sending you

Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Seeing that I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,

to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles. I serve the gospel of God like a priest, so that the Gentiles may become an acceptable offering, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

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,

and when James, Cephas, and John, who had a reputation as pillars, recognized the grace that had been given to me, they gave to Barnabas and me the right hand of fellowship, agreeing that we would go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.

In faith

When they arrived and gathered the church together, they reported all the things God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith for the Gentiles.

yet we know that no one is justified by the works of the law but by the faithfulness of Jesus Christ. And we have come to believe in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by the faithfulness of Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified.

So then those who believe are blessed along with Abraham the believer.

Verity

His acts are characterized by faithfulness and justice; all his precepts are reliable.
