⁶ which has come to you, as indeed ^(A)in the whole world it is ^(B)bearing fruit and increasing—as it also does among you, since the day you ^(C)heard it and understood ^(D)the grace of God in truth,

¹⁶ You did not choose me, but ^(A)I chose you and appointed you that you should go and ^(B)bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that ^(C)whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

¹¹ filled ^(A)with the fruit of righteousness that comes ^(B)through Jesus Christ, ^(C)to the glory and praise of God.

Final Greetings

¹² By ^(A)Silvanus, a faithful brother as I regard him, ^(B)I have written briefly to you, exhorting and declaring that this is ^(C)the true grace of God. ^(D)Stand firm in it.

^23 (A)if indeed you continue in the faith, ^(B)stable and steadfast, not shifting from ^(C)the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed ^(D)in all creation^[a] under heaven, ^(E)and of which I, Paul, became a minister.

¹³ I do not want you to be unaware, brothers,^[a] that ^(A)I have often intended to come to you (but ^(B)thus far have been prevented), in order that I may reap some ^(C)harvest among you as well as among the rest of the Gentiles.

¹⁵ And he said to them, ^(A)“Go into all the world and ^(B)proclaim the gospel to ^(C)the whole creation.

⁸ And other seeds fell into good soil and produced grain, growing up and increasing and yielding thirtyfold and sixtyfold and ^(A)a hundredfold.”

¹⁴ And this gospel of the kingdom ^(A)will be proclaimed throughout the whole world ^(B)as a testimony ^(C)to all nations, and ^(D)then the end will come.
