⁶ But from those who ^[a]were of considerable ^(A)repute (what they were makes no difference to me; ^(B)God shows no favoritism)—well, those who were of repute contributed nothing to me. ⁷ But on the contrary, seeing that I had been ^(C)entrusted with the ^(D)gospel ^[b]to the uncircumcised, just as ^(E)Peter had been ^[c]to the circumcised

¹⁰ But by ^(A)the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I ^(B)labored even more than all of them, yet ^(C)not I, but the grace of God with me.

⁶ Therefore, as you have received ^(A)Christ Jesus the Lord, so ^[a](B)walk in Him, ⁷ having been firmly ^(C)rooted and now being ^(D)built up in Him and ^(E)established ^[b]in ^[c]your faith, just as you ^(F)were instructed, and overflowing ^[d]with gratitude.

²¹ And although you were ^(A)previously alienated and hostile in attitude, engaged in evil deeds, ²² yet He has now ^(B)reconciled you in His ^(C)body of flesh through death, in order to ^(D)present you before Him ^(E)holy and blameless and beyond reproach— ²³ if indeed you continue in ^[a]the faith firmly ^(F)established and steadfast, and not shifting from the ^(G)hope of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed ^(H)in all creation under heaven, ^(I)and of which I, Paul, ^[b]was made a ^[c](J)minister.

¹² Through ^(A)Silvanus, our faithful brother ^[a](for so I regard him), ^(B)I have written to you briefly, ^[b]exhorting and testifying that this is ^(C)the true grace of God. ^(D)Stand firm in it!
