“ But the Lord said to me,‘ Go, for I will send you far away to the Gentiles!’”

主向我说：‘你去吧！我要差你远远地往外邦人那里去。’”

主对我说：‘你去吧！我要差你到远方外邦人那里去。’”

主对我说：‘你去吧！我要差你到远方外邦人那里去。’”

主却对我说，‘去吧！我要差遣你到遥远的外族人那里。’”

他对我说：‘你走吧，我要派你到远方的外族人那里去。’”

“主对我说：‘去吧！我要派你到遥远的外邦人那里去。’”

主向我說：『你去吧！我要差你遠遠地往外邦人那裏去。』」

主對我說：『你去吧！我要差你到遠方外邦人那裏去。』」

主對我說：『你去吧！我要差你到遠方外邦人那裏去。』」

主卻對我說，『去吧！我要差遣你到遙遠的外族人那裡。』」

他對我說：‘你走吧，我要派你到遠方的外族人那裡去。’”

主對我說：「你去，我要差遣你出去到遠方去找外國人。」』

「主對我說：『去吧！我要派你到遙遠的外邦人那裡去。』」

“ Then the Lord said to me,‘ Go; I will send you far away to the Gentiles.’”

“ Then the Lord said to me,‘ Go. I will send you far away to people who are not Jews.’ ”

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

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

And He said to me,‘ Go! For I will send you far away to the Gentiles.’ ”

Then He said to me,‘ Depart, for I will send you far from here to the Gentiles.’”

And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee forth far hence unto the Gentiles.

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

And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.

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

“ He said to me,‘ Depart, for I will send you out far from here to the Gentiles.’”

But the Lord said,“ Go, for Saul is my chosen instrument to take my message to the Gentiles and to kings, as well as to the people of Israel.

Instead, they saw that God had given me the responsibility of preaching the gospel to the Gentiles, just as he had given Peter the responsibility of preaching to the Jews.For the same God who worked through Peter as the apostle to the Jews also worked through me as the apostle to the Gentiles.

And I have been chosen as a preacher and apostle to teach the Gentiles this message about faith and truth. I’m not exaggerating— just telling the truth.

Then Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and declared,“ It was necessary that we first preach the word of God to you Jews. But since you have rejected it and judged yourselves unworthy of eternal life, we will offer it to the Gentiles.For the Lord gave us this command when he said,‘ I have made you a light to the Gentiles, to bring salvation to the farthest corners of the earth.’”

I am saying all this especially for you Gentiles. God has appointed me as the apostle to the Gentiles. I stress this,

I am a special messenger from Christ Jesus to you Gentiles. I bring you the Good News so that I might present you as an acceptable offering to God, made holy by the Holy Spirit.

And this is God’s plan: Both Gentiles and Jews who believe the Good News share equally in the riches inherited by God’s children. Both are part of the same body, and both enjoy the promise of blessings because they belong to Christ Jesus.By God’s grace and mighty power, I have been given the privilege of serving him by spreading this Good News.Though I am the least deserving of all God’s people, he graciously gave me the privilege of telling the Gentiles about the endless treasures available to them in Christ.

And God chose me to be a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of this Good News.

And I will rescue you from both your own people and the Gentiles. Yes, I am sending you to the Gentilesto open their eyes, so they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God. Then they will receive forgiveness for their sins and be given a place among God’s people, who are set apart by faith in me.’

One day as these men were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said,“ Appoint Barnabas and Saul for the special work to which I have called them.”

But even before I was born, God chose me and called me by his marvelous grace. Then it pleased himto reveal his Son to me so that I would proclaim the Good News about Jesus to the Gentiles. When this happened, I did not rush out to consult with any human being.

But now as the prophets foretold and as the eternal God has commanded, this message is made known to all Gentiles everywhere, so that they too might believe and obey him.

Through Christ, God has given us the privilege and authority as apostles to tell Gentiles everywhere what God has done for them, so that they will believe and obey him, bringing glory to his name.

But when they opposed and insulted him, Paul shook the dust from his clothes and said,“ Your blood is upon your own heads— I am innocent. From now on I will go preach to the Gentiles.”
