Brothers, I urge you to receive this message of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly.

They conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they did not love their lives in the face of death.

Then Paul and Barnabas boldly said:“ It was necessary that God’s message be spoken to you first. But since you reject it and consider yourselves unworthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles!For this is what the Lord has commanded us: I have made you a light for the Gentiles to bring salvation to the ends of the earth.”

Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth. For I am God, and there is no other.

I am innocent. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”

Nevertheless, I have written to remind you more boldly on some points because of the grace given me by Godto be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, serving as a priest of God’s good news. My purpose is that the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
