⁴ But as ^(A)we have been approved by God ^(B)to be entrusted with the gospel, even so we speak, ^(C)not as pleasing men, but God ^(D)who tests our hearts.

¹⁰ For ^(A)do I now ^(B)persuade men, or God? Or ^(C)do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.

⁷ But on the contrary, ^(A)when they saw that the gospel for the uncircumcised ^(B)had been committed to me, as the gospel for the circumcised was to Peter

²⁷ Now ^(A)He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints ^(B)according to the will of God.

³ but has in due time manifested His word through preaching, which was committed to me according to the commandment of God our Savior;

¹⁴ That good thing which was committed to you, keep by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.

¹¹ according to the glorious gospel of the ^(A)blessed God which was ^(B)committed to my trust.

Glory to God for His Grace^(C)

¹² And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has ^(D)enabled me, ^(E)because He counted me faithful, ^(F)putting me into the ministry, ¹³ although ^(G)I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an ^[a]insolent man; but I obtained mercy because ^(H)I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

^6 (A)not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,

¹⁹ You are ^(A)great in counsel and mighty in ^[a]work, for Your ^(B)eyes are open to all the ways of the sons of men, ^(C)to give everyone according to his ways and according to the fruit of his doings.
