Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,

I, Paul, am writing this letter. I have been chosen to be an apostle of Christ Jesus just as God planned. Our brother Sosthenes joins me in writing.

Paul, called by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and our brother Sosthenes,

This letter is from Paul, chosen by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and from our brother Sosthenes.

Paul, called as an apostle of Christ Jesus by God’s will, and Sosthenes our brother:

Paul, called as an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,

Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

Paul, called as an apostle of Christ Jesus by God’s will, and Sosthenes our brother:

Paul, called[ to be] an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes[ our] brother,

Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,

From Paul, a slave of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God.

From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of God that is in Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia.

From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, to the saints[ in Ephesus], the faithful in Christ Jesus.

So they all seized Sosthenes, the president of the synagogue, and began to beat him in front of the judgment seat. Yet none of these things were of any concern to Gallio.

From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,

From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

From Paul, an apostle( not from men, nor by human agency, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead)

From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, to further the promise of life in Christ Jesus,

But when the one who set me apart from birth and called me by his grace was pleasedto reveal his Son in me so that I could preach him among the Gentiles, I did not go to ask advice from any human being,

For this I was appointed a preacher and apostle– I am telling the truth; I am not lying– and a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

Then he said to me,‘ Go, because I will send you far away to the Gentiles.’”

On the contrary, when they saw that I was entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised just as Peter was to the circumcised( for he who empowered Peter for his apostleship to the circumcised also empowered me for my apostleship to the Gentiles)

Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord?If I am not an apostle to others, at least I am to you, for you are the confirming sign of my apostleship in the Lord.

until the day he was taken up to heaven, after he had given orders by the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen.

Through him we have received grace and our apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles on behalf of his name.

For I consider myself not at all inferior to those“ super- apostles.”

Indeed, the signs of an apostle were performed among you with great perseverance by signs and wonders and powerful deeds.

Or do you not know that anyone who is united with a prostitute is one body with her? For it is said,“ The two will become one flesh.”But the one united with the Lord is one spirit with him.

So Jesus said to them again,“ Peace be with you. Just as the Father has sent me, I also send you.”

For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

We are coworkers belonging to God. You are God’s field, God’s building.

It was he who gave some as apostles, some as prophets, some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers,

to assume the task of this service and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.”Then they cast lots for them, and the one chosen was Matthias; so he was counted with the eleven apostles.

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that remains, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.

When morning came, he called his disciples and chose twelve of them, whom he also named apostles:
