In fact, it was just the opposite. They recognized the task I had been trusted with. It was the task of preaching the good news to the Gentiles. My task was like Peter’s task. He had been trusted with the task of preaching to the Jews.

反倒看见了主托我传福音给那未受割礼的人，正如托彼得传福音给那受割礼的人。（

相反地，他们看见了主托付我传福音给未受割礼的人，正如主托付彼得传福音给受割礼的人；

相反地，他们看见了主托付我传福音给未受割礼的人，正如主托付彼得传福音给受割礼的人；

相反，他们都已看到，上帝差遣了我向外族人传福音，就像祂差遣了彼得向犹太人传福音一样。

反而因为看见我受托传福音给没有受割礼的人，就像彼得受托传福音给受割礼的人一样，

不过他们反而看出来：我受了委托去传福音给没有受割礼的人，正如彼得受了委托去传福音给受割礼的人，

反倒看見了主託我傳福音給那未受割禮的人，正如託彼得傳福音給那受割禮的人。（

相反地，他們看見了主託付我傳福音給未受割禮的人，正如主託付彼得傳福音給受割禮的人；

相反地，他們看見了主託付我傳福音給未受割禮的人，正如主託付彼得傳福音給受割禮的人；

相反，他們都已看到，上帝差遣了我向外族人傳福音，就像祂差遣了彼得向猶太人傳福音一樣。

反而因為看見我受託傳福音給沒有受割禮的人，就像彼得受託傳福音給受割禮的人一樣，

不，相反的，他們看見了我受託付來傳不受割禮的福音，正如彼得受託付去傳受割禮的福音

不過他們反而看出來：我受了委託去傳福音給沒有受割禮的人，正如彼得受了委託去傳福音給受割禮的人，

反乎此、既見主託我宣福音於未受割者、亦猶託彼得於已受割者、

反乎此則雅各、磯法、約翰、見主託我、傳福音與未受割禮者、亦猶託彼得、傳福音與已受割者、

反見主託我傳福音與未受割禮者、如託彼得傳福音與已受割禮者、

反之、彼等洞察予實受有傳福音於未割者之使命、適如伯鐸祿之傳福音於受割之人也。

On the contrary, they recognized that I had been entrusted with the task of preaching the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been to the circumcised.

On the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised

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.

On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel for the uncircumcised, just as Peter was for the circumcised,

But on the contrary, seeing that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been to the circumcised

But on the contrary, when they saw that the gospel for the uncircumcised had been committed to me, as the gospel for the circumcised was to Peter

but contrariwise, when they saw that I had been intrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, even as Peter with the gospel of the circumcision

On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel for the uncircumcised, just as Peter was for the circumcised,

But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as[ the gospel] of the circumcision[ was] unto Peter;

On the contrary, when they saw that I was entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised just as Peter was to the circumcised

but to the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the Good News for the uncircumcised, even as Peter with the Good News for the circumcised—

But the Lord said to Ananias,“ Go! I have chosen this man to work for me. He will announce my name to the Gentiles and to their kings. He will also announce my name to the people of Israel.

In fact, it is just the opposite. God has approved us to preach. He has trusted us with the good news. We aren’t trying to please people. We want to please God. He tests our hearts.

to show his Son in my life. He wanted me to preach about Jesus among the Gentiles. When God appointed me, I decided right away not to ask anyone for advice.

I was appointed to be a messenger and an apostle to preach the good news. I am telling the truth. I’m not lying. God appointed me to be a true and faithful teacher of the Gentiles.

True teaching agrees with the good news about the glory of the blessed God. He trusted me with that good news.

James, Peter and John are respected as pillars in the church. They recognized the special grace given to me. So they shook my hand and the hand of Barnabas. They wanted to show they accepted us. They agreed that we should go to the Gentiles. They would go to the Jews.

But they opposed Paul. They treated him badly. So he shook out his clothes in protest. Then he said to them,“ God’s judgment against you will be your own fault! Don’t blame me for it! From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”

If I preach because I want to, I get a reward. If I preach because I have to, I’m only doing my duty.

I am talking to you who are not Jews. I am the apostle to the Gentiles. So I take pride in the work I do for God and others.

Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly.“ We had to speak God’s word to you first,” they said.“ But you don’t accept it. You don’t think you are good enough for eternal life. So now we are turning to the Gentiles.This is what the Lord has commanded us to do. He said,“‘ I have made you a light for the Gentiles. You will bring salvation to the whole earth.’ ”( Isaiah 49:6)When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad. They honored the word of the Lord. All who were appointed for eternal life believed.

I was appointed to announce the good news. I was appointed to be an apostle and a teacher.

Remember that while our Lord is waiting patiently to return, people are being saved. Our dear brother Paul also wrote to you about this. God made him wise to write as he did.

We received grace because of what Jesus did. He made us apostles to the Gentiles. We must invite all of them to obey God by trusting in Jesus. We do this to bring glory to him.

Everyone became quiet as they listened to Barnabas and Paul. They were telling about the signs and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles.

“ Here is what I want you to know. God has sent his salvation to the Gentiles. And they will listen!”

So we all agreed to send our dear friends Barnabas and Paul to you. We chose some other men to go with them.Barnabas and Paul have put their lives in danger. They did it for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
