We have received grace and apostleship through Him to bring about the obedience of faith among all the nations,

on behalf of His name,

What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, and each has the role the Lord has given.

I have become its servant, according to God’s administration that was given to me for you, to make God’s message fully known,
