Unto us

God raised up his servant and sent him first to you, to bless you by turning each one of you from your iniquities."

Both Paul and Barnabas replied courageously, "It was necessary to speak the word of God to you first. Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we are turning to the Gentiles.

And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, proclaimed the gospel to Abraham ahead of time, saying, "All the nations will be blessed in you."

But you know it was because of a physical illness that I first proclaimed the gospel to you,

They were shown that they were serving not themselves but you, in regard to the things now announced to you through those who proclaimed the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven -- things angels long to catch a glimpse of.

Did

And so we too constantly thank God that when you received God's message that you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human message, but as it truly is, God's message, which is at work among you who believe.

And so all of them who have not believed the truth but have delighted in evil will be condemned.

So put away all filth and evil excess and humbly welcome the message implanted within you, which is able to save your souls.
