²¹ And he said to me, ‘Go, for I will send you ^(A)far away to the Gentiles.’”

¹⁵ But the Lord said to him, “Go, for ^(A)he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name ^(B)before the Gentiles and ^(C)kings and the children of Israel.

^11 (A)for which I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher,

^7 (A)For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (^(B)I am telling the truth, I am not lying), ^(C)a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

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,

⁷ On the contrary, when they saw that I had been ^(A)entrusted with ^(B)the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised ⁸ (for he who worked through Peter for his apostolic ministry to the circumcised worked also through me for mine to the Gentiles),

¹⁵ But when he ^(A)who had set me apart ^(B)before I was born,^[a] and who ^(C)called me by his grace, ¹⁶ was pleased to reveal his Son to^[b] me, in order ^(D)that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with anyone;^[c]

²⁶ but ^(A)has now been disclosed and through the prophetic writings has been made known to all nations, according to the command of the eternal God, ^(B)to bring about the obedience of faith—

¹⁶ to be ^(A)a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles ^(B)in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that ^(C)the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
