But even if I am poured out as a drink offering on the sacrificial service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.

Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Insofar as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,

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

Don’t neglect to do what is good and to share, for God is pleased with such sacrifices.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, in view of the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your true worship.Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.

I will establish a sign among them, and I will send survivors from them to the nations— to Tarshish, Put, Lud( who are archers), Tubal, Javan, and the coasts and islands far away— who have not heard about me or seen my glory. And they will proclaim my glory among the nations.They will bring all your brothers from all the nations as a gift to the LORD on horses and chariots, in litters, and on mules and camels, to my holy mountain Jerusalem,” says the LORD,“ just as the Israelites bring an offering in a clean vessel to the house of the LORD.

But the Lord said to him,“ Go, for this man is my chosen instrument to take my name to Gentiles, kings, and Israelites.

For this gospel I was appointed a herald, apostle, and teacher,

For I would not dare say anything except what Christ has accomplished through me by word and deed for the obedience of the Gentiles,

In the same way the Spirit also helps us in our weakness, because we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings.And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because he intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us. We plead on Christ’s behalf,“ Be reconciled to God.”

that conforms to the gospel concerning the glory of the blessed God, which was entrusted to me.

But I consider my life of no value to myself; my purpose is to finish my course and the ministry I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of God’s grace.

Don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,

you yourselves, as living stones, a spiritual house, are being built to be a holy priesthood to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

But I have received everything in full, and I have an abundance. I am fully supplied, having received from Epaphroditus what you provided— a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.

What then is Apollos? What is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, and each has the role the Lord has given.

It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you. These things have now been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven— angels long to catch a glimpse of these things.

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.

For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.

On the contrary, after we had previously suffered and were treated outrageously in Philippi, as you know, we were emboldened by our God to speak the gospel of God to you in spite of great opposition.

As they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said,“ Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”

I will rescue you from your people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to themto open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a share among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’

This hope will not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

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

In him you are also being built together for God’s dwelling in the Spirit.For this reason, I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles—

A person should think of us in this way: as servants of Christ and managers of the mysteries of God.

and not just as we had hoped. Instead, they gave themselves first to the Lord and then to us by God’s will.

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

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.

For you remember our labor and hardship, brothers and sisters. Working night and day so that we would not burden any of you, we preached God’s gospel to you.

So then, does God give you the Spirit and work miracles among you by your doing the works of the law? Or is it by believing what you heard—

Are they servants of Christ? I’m talking like a madman— I’m a better one: with far more labors, many more imprisonments, far worse beatings, many times near death.

“ And now I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up and to give you an inheritance among all who are sanctified.

Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. And may your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept sound and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
