But to you Gentiles I say that, since I am an Apostle specially sent to the Gentiles, I take pride in my ministry,

Embrace Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellowprisoners, who are distinguished among the sent, who also have been in Christ before me.

Greet one another with a holy kiss.
All the churches of Christ send you greetings.

Timothy, my fellow-worker, sends you his greetings, and Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my countrymen, send theirs.

I, Tertius, who write this letter, send you Christian greetings.

To the same God, which alone is wise, be praise through Jesus Christ for ever Amen. {To the Romans. Sent from Corinth by Phoebe, she that was the minister unto the congregation at Cenchreae}

Paul, called, sent of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother,

[it is being sent] to the church of God at Corinth. [You people are] set apart in [the fellowship of] Christ Jesus and called [by God] to be saints [i.e., His holy people], along with all [others] everywhere who call on our Lord Jesus Christ [i.e., in prayer]. He is their Lord and ours [as well].

For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.

For I think that God has exhibited us the last sent, as exposed to death; for we were a theatre to the world, and to messengers, and to men.

For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.

And in place of feeling sorrow, you are pleased with yourselves, so that he who has done this thing has not been sent away from among you.

but and if she may separate, let her remain unmarried, or to the husband let her be reconciled, and let not a husband send away a wife.

And to the rest I speak -- not the Lord -- if any brother hath a wife unbelieving, and she is pleased to dwell with him, let him not send her away;

and a woman who hath a husband unbelieving, and he is pleased to dwell with her, let her not send him away;

Am I not sent? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are ye not my work in the Lord

If to others I am not sent, but surely I am to you: for the seal of my sending are ye in the Lord.

Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife; as also the rest of the sent, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?

And whom truly God set in the church, first the sent, second the prophets, third teachers, then powers, then graces of healings, helps, directions, kinds of tongues.

And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?

For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?

There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of undistinguishable sound.

If therefore I do not know the power of the sound, I shall be to him that speaks a barbarian, and he that speaks a barbarian for me.

But in the church, I will to speak five words by my mind, that I might also sound. in the ears of others, than ten thousand words in a tongue.

For I am the least of the sent, who am not fit to be called sent, for I drove out the church of God.

On every first day of the week [i.e., at the regular Sunday assembly] each one of you should set aside and store up [money] in proportion to your income, so that no collections will have to be taken when I come.

And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.

and with you, it may be, I will abide, or even winter, that ye may send me forward whithersoever I go,

no one, then, may despise him; and send ye him forward in peace, that he may come to me, for I expect him with the brethren;

and through you to pass to Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come unto you, and by you to be sent forward to Judea.

For out of much trouble and pain of heart and much weeping I sent my letter to you; not to give you sorrow, but so that you might see how great is the love which I have to you.

And for the same reason I sent you a letter so that I might be certain of your desire to do my orders in all things.

For we are not like many, [acting like merchants] peddling God’s word [shortchanging and adulterating God’s message]; but from pure [uncompromised] motives, as [commissioned and sent] from God, we speak [His message] in Christ in the sight of God.

for whether we were beside ourselves, it was to God; whether we be of sound mind -- it is to you,

So though I sent you a letter, it was not only because of the man who did the wrong, or because of him to whom the wrong was done, but so that your true care for us might be made clear in the eyes of God.

And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches;

And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have oftentimes proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, upon the great confidence which I have in you.

Whether for Titus, my companion and co-worker to you: or our brethren, the sent of the churches, the glory of Christ.

Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready:

As it is said in the Writings, He has sent out far and wide, he has given to the poor; his righteousness is for ever.

For I reckon myself to be nothing greatly inferior to the sent.

and when I was with you and needed money, I never burdened a single one of you for a cent, for the brothers came from Macedonia and supplied what I needed. And so I kept myself, as I shall always do, from being a burden to you in any way.

For such the falsely sent, crafty workers, being transformed into the sent of Christ.

And judging by the stupendous grandeur of the revelations--therefore lest I should be over-elated there has been sent to me, like the agony of impalement, Satan's angel dealing blow after blow, lest I should be over-elated.

I have been mad boasting; ye forced me: for I ought to have been recommended by you: for I was not greatly inferior to the sent, if also I am nothing.

Surely the signs of one sent was wrought in you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and powers.

Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you?

I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps?

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the holy ghost, be with you all. Amen. {The end of the Second Epistle unto the Corinthians, Sent from Philippi, a city in Macedonia, by Titus and Luke}

Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them sent before me; but I went away to Arabia, and again returned to Damascus.

And the Scripture, foreseeing that in consequence of faith God would declare the nations to be free from guilt, sent beforehand the Good News to Abraham, saying, "In you all the nations shall be blessed."

But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

But what does the Scripture say?

“Cast out the bondwoman [Hagar] and her son [Ishmael],
For never shall the son of the bondwoman be heir and share the inheritance with the son of the free woman.”

[This letter is from] Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, according to God's will, [and is being sent] to the saints [i.e., God's holy people] at Ephesus [Note: This was a major city in the western province of Asia Minor, and now a part of Turkey. The words "at Ephesus" are omitted in some manuscripts, suggesting it was a circular letter], and the faithful ones in [fellowship with] Christ Jesus [everywhere else ?].

Built upon the foundation of the sent, and of the prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the corner stone;

Which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as now has been revealed to his holy sent and to the prophets by the Spirit:

And truly he gave the sent; and the prophets; and the bearers of good tidings; and the shepherds, and the teachers;

So that we may be no longer children, sent this way and that, turned about by every wind of teaching, by the twisting and tricks of men, by the deceits of error;

But that ye also may know my affairs, and what I am doing here, Tychicus a beloved brother, and a faithful minister in the Lord, shall make all known to you: whom I have sent to you,

Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.

Grace be with all them which love our Lord Jesus Christ in pureness. Amen. {Sent from Rome unto the Ephesians by Tychicus.}

[This letter is from] Paul and Timothy, slaves of Christ Jesus, [and is being sent] to all the saints [i.e., God's holy people] who are at Philippi [Note: This is a town in present-day northeastern Greece, and the first place in Europe where Paul established Christianity], along with the overseers [Note: These men were also called elders, shepherds or pastors] and deacons.

But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.

For I have no one but him to send--no one of kindred spirit who would take the same genuine interest in your welfare.

Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.

Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.

I send him because he is longing to see you all and is distressed at your having heard of his illness.

I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.

For it was owing to his devotion to the Master's work that he was at the point of death, having risked his own life in the effort to supply what was wanting in the help that you sent me.

For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.

But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.

Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you.

All the saints send their love to you, specially those who are of Caesar's house.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. {Sent from Rome by Epaphroditus.}
