Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God—

I, Paul, am writing this letter. I serve Christ Jesus. I have been appointed to be an apostle. God set me apart to tell others his good news.

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called[ to be] an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,

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

But the Lord said to him,“ Go your way, for he is my chosen vessel to bear my name before the nations and kings, and the children of Israel.

that I should be a servant of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, serving as a priest of the Good News of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be made acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

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

“ Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I sanctified you. I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.”

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

Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s chosen ones, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,

Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Haven’t I seen Jesus Christ, our Lord? Aren’t you my work in the Lord?

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the assembly of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia:

For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you always in my prayers,

to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle— I am telling the truth in Christ, not lying— a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

For this I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.

but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as you know, at Philippi, we grew bold in our God to tell you the Good News of God in much conflict.

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the commandment of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope;

Nobody takes this honor on himself, but he is called by God, just like Aaron was.

This is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things which must happen soon, which he sent and made known by his angel to his servant, John,

He said to me,“ See you don’t do it! I am a fellow bondservant with you and with your brothers, the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”

through whom we received grace and apostleship for obedience of faith among all the nations for his name’s sake;

according to the Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.I thank him who enabled me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service;

Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ:

I fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to me,‘ Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’

James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in the Dispersion: Greetings.

He said to me,“ These words are faithful and true. The Lord God of the spirits of the prophets sent his angel to show to his bondservants the things which must happen soon.”

Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ:

Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ; To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and servants:

Agrippa said to Paul,“ You may speak for yourself.” Then Paul stretched out his hand, and made his defense.

But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him,

The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons, forever, to burn incense before Yahweh, to minister to him, and to bless in his name, forever.

For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.

which in other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit,that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of his promise in Christ Jesus through the Good News,of which I was made a servant according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.

For I reckon that I am not at all behind the very best apostles.

For I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since then as I am an apostle to Gentiles, I glorify my ministry;

But arise, and stand on your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose: to appoint you a servant and a witness both of the things which you have seen, and of the things which I will reveal to you;delivering you from the people, and from the Gentiles, to whom I send you,to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’

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

When we had all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language,‘ Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’

and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

He said to them,“ Go into all the world, and preach the Good News to the whole creation.He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who disbelieves will be condemned.

Paul, an apostle— not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—

For we don’t preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake,

In him you also, having heard the word of the truth, the Good News of your salvation— in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,

I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of the Good News of Christ.

I have become foolish in boasting. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for in nothing was I inferior to the very best apostles, though I am nothing.

The angel said to them,“ Don’t be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people.For there is born to you today, in David’s city, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

At that time Yahweh set apart the tribe of Levi to bear the ark of Yahweh’s covenant, to stand before Yahweh to minister to him, and to bless in his name, to this day.

and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.For I am the least of the apostles, who is not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the assembly of God.But by the grace of God I am what I am. His grace which was given to me was not futile, but I worked more than all of them; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus:

concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.However, I consider those things that were gain to me as a loss for Christ.

As they served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said,“ Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, for the work to which I have called them.”Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.

came to me, and standing by me said to me,‘ Brother Saul, receive your sight!’ In that very hour I looked up at him.He said,‘ The God of our fathers has appointed you to know his will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice from his mouth.For you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and heard.

For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,

No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn’t know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you.

But I have said to you,“ You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey.” I am Yahweh your God, who has separated you from the peoples.“‘ You shall therefore make a distinction between the clean animal and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean. You shall not make yourselves abominable by animal, or by bird, or by anything with which the ground teems, which I have separated from you as unclean for you.You shall be holy to me, for I, Yahweh, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that you should be mine.

Listen, islands, to me. Listen, you peoples, from afar: Yahweh has called me from the womb; from the inside of my mother, he has mentioned my name.

If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.For I have given you an example, that you should also do as I have done to you.Most certainly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his lord, neither is one who is sent greater than he who sent him.

But these things don’t count; nor do I hold my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify to the Good News of the grace of God.

For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn’t be a servant of Christ.But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.For I didn’t receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.For you have heard of my way of living in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the assembly of God and ravaged it.I advanced in the Jews’ religion beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his graceto reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I didn’t immediately confer with flesh and blood,nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus.

For those who are such don’t serve our Lord, Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and flattering speech, they deceive the hearts of the innocent.

If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.

Is it a small thing to you that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do the service of Yahweh’s tabernacle, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them;and that he has brought you near, and all your brothers the sons of Levi with you? Do you seek the priesthood also?

He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, shepherds and teachers;

For if I preach the Good News, I have nothing to boast about; for necessity is laid on me; but woe is to me if I don’t preach the Good News.For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward. But if not of my own will, I have a stewardship entrusted to me.What then is my reward? That when I preach the Good News, I may present the Good News of Christ without charge, so as not to abuse my authority in the Good News.

The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Jesus Christ might display all his patience for an example of those who were going to believe in him for eternal life.

of which I was made a servant according to the stewardship of God which was given me toward you to fulfill the word of God,

Remember the word that I said to you:‘ A servant is not greater than his lord.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.

When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. When there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,

For such a high priest was fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

But we are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth,to which he called you through our Good News, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
