For I say, through the grace that was given to me, to every one who is among you, not to think above what it behoveth to think; but to think so as to think wisely, as to each God did deal a measure of faith,

and the more boldly I did write to you, brethren, in part, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me by God,

and out of his fulness did we all receive, and grace over-against grace;

and by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace that is towards me came not in vain, but more abundantly than they all did I labour, yet not I, but the grace of God that is with me;

not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything, as of ourselves, but our sufficiency is of God,

and when God was well pleased -- having separated me from the womb of my mother, and having called me through His grace --

if, indeed, ye did hear of the dispensation of the grace of God that was given to me in regard to you,

according to the good news of the glory of the blessed God, with which I was entrusted.

Apostleship

to receive the share of this ministration and apostleship, from which Judas, by transgression, did fall, to go on to his proper place;'

if to others I am not an apostle -- yet doubtless to you I am; for the seal of my apostleship are ye in the Lord.

For obedience to the faith

for I will not dare to speak anything of the things that Christ did not work through me, to obedience of nations, by word and deed,

and now having been made manifest, also, through prophetic writings, according to a command of the age-during God, having been made known to all the nations for obedience of faith --

And the word of God did increase, and the number of the disciples did multiply in Jerusalem exceedingly; a great multitude also of the priests were obedient to the faith.

for the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but powerful to God for bringing down of strongholds,

and having been made perfect, he did become to all those obeying him a cause of salvation age-during,

Among

The God of Jews only is He, and not also of nations?

For his name

For, from the rising of the sun to its going in, Great is My name among nations, And in every place perfume is brought nigh to My name, and a pure present, For great is My name among nations, Said Jehovah of Hosts.

Simeon did declare how at first God did look after to take out of the nations a people for His name,

to the praise of the glory of His grace, in which He did make us accepted in the beloved,

and ye are a choice race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people acquired, that the excellences ye may shew forth of Him who out of darkness did call you to His wondrous light;
