¹⁸ When they heard these things they fell silent. And they ^(A)glorified God, saying, ^(B)“Then to the Gentiles also God has ^(C)granted ^(D)repentance that leads to life.”

^12 (A)For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; ^(B)for the same Lord is Lord of all, ^(C)bestowing his riches on all who call on him. ¹³ For ^(D)“everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

¹⁰ For ^(A)godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas ^(B)worldly grief produces death.

³¹ God exalted ^(A)him at his right hand as ^(B)Leader and ^(C)Savior, ^(D)to give ^(E)repentance to Israel and ^(F)forgiveness of sins.

⁵ which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit. ⁶ This mystery is^[a] that the Gentiles are ^(A)fellow heirs, ^(B)members of the same body, and ^(C)partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

^7 (D)Of this gospel I was made ^(E)a minister according to the gift of ^(F)God's grace, which was given me ^(G)by the working of his power. ⁸ To me, ^(H)though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, ^(I)to preach to the Gentiles the ^(J)unsearchable ^(K)riches of Christ,

One in Christ

¹¹ Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called “the uncircumcision” by what is called ^(A)the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands— ¹² remember ^(B)that you were at that time separated from Christ, ^(C)alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to ^(D)the covenants of promise, ^(E)having no hope and without God in the world. ¹³ But now in Christ Jesus you who once were ^(F)far off have been brought near ^(G)by the blood of Christ. ¹⁴ For ^(H)he himself is our peace, ^(I)who has made us both one and has broken down ^(J)in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility ¹⁵ by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ^(K)ordinances, that he might create in himself one ^(L)new man in place of the two, so making peace, ¹⁶ and might ^(M)reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. ¹⁷ And he came and ^(N)preached peace to you who were ^(O)far off and peace to those who were ^(P)near. ¹⁸ For ^(Q)through him we both have ^(R)access in ^(S)one Spirit to the Father.

²⁰ And when they heard it, they ^(A)glorified God. And they said to him, “You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed. They are all ^(B)zealous for the law,

^21 (A)testifying both to Jews and to Greeks of ^(B)repentance toward God and of ^(C)faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.^[a]

²⁶ And I will give you ^(A)a new heart, and ^(B)a new spirit I will put within you. ^(C)And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
