I, Paul, became a minister of this gospel.(B)

International Standard Version
21 You who were once alienated with a hostile attitude, doing evil,[a] 22 he has now reconciled by the death of his physical body, so that he may present you holy, blameless, and without fault before him. 23 However, you must remain firmly established and steadfast in the faith, without being moved from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.[b]
