彼則出於樹黨、非誠也、欲增我縲絏之苦耳、

此則出於仁愛、知我為辯福音而用、

此則由愛心、知我為辯福音而立、

彼則不本至誠、徒以基督為號召、而自立門戶、藉欲重貽吾憂於囹圄之中。

For this gospel I was appointed a herald, apostle, and teacher,and that is why I suffer these things. But I am not ashamed, because I know the One I have believed in and am persuaded that He is able to guard what has been entrusted to me until that day.

Do nothing out of rivalry or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves.

It is right for me to think this way about all of you, because I have you in my heart, and you are all partners with me in grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and establishment of the gospel.

For if I preach the gospel, I have no reason to boast, because an obligation is placed on me. And woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!For if I do this willingly, I have a reward, but if unwillingly, I am entrusted with a stewardship.

Now I want you to know, brothers, that I often planned to come to you( but was prevented until now) in order that I might have a fruitful ministry among you, just as among the rest of the Gentiles.I am obligated both to Greeks and barbarians, both to the wise and the foolish.So I am eager to preach the good news to you also who are in Rome.For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is God’s power for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek.For in it God’s righteousness is revealed from faith to faith, just as it is written: The righteous will live by faith.

At my first defense, no one stood by me, but everyone deserted me. May it not be counted against them.

“ Brothers and fathers, listen now to my defense before you.”

Agrippa said to Paul,“ It is permitted for you to speak for yourself.” Then Paul stretched out his hand and began his defense:

For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time for my departure is close.I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

For this I was appointed a herald, an apostle( I am telling the truth; I am not lying), and a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

Therefore make up your minds not to prepare your defense ahead of time,

As he was making his defense this way, Festus exclaimed in a loud voice,“ You’re out of your mind, Paul! Too much study is driving you mad!”

On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel for the uncircumcised, just as Peter was for the circumcised,since the One at work in Peter for an apostleship to the circumcised was also at work in me for the Gentiles.
