And He commanded us to preach to the people, and to fully testify that it is He Who hath been ordained by God Judge of the living and dead.

For I say that Christ hath become a minister of the circumcision, in behalf of God's truth, that He might confirm the promises made to the fathers;

and, making it my aim so to proclaim the Gospel??ot where Christ was already named??hat I might not build upon another's foundation;
