⁹ Is this blessedness only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised?^(A) We have been saying that Abraham’s faith was credited to him as righteousness.^(B)

²⁶ So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God^(A) through faith, ²⁷ for all of you who were baptized into Christ^(B) have clothed yourselves with Christ.^{(C) 28} There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free,^(D) nor is there male and female,^(E) for you are all one in Christ Jesus.^(F)

¹⁴ He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus,^(A) so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.^(B)

¹¹ Here there is no Gentile or Jew,^(A) circumcised or uncircumcised,^(B) barbarian, Scythian, slave or free,^(C) but Christ is all,^(D) and is in all.

⁸ Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people,^(A) this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles^(B) the boundless riches of Christ,^(C)

³ What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”^[a](A)

Jew and Gentile Reconciled Through Christ

¹¹ Therefore, remember that formerly^(A) you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (which is done in the body by human hands)^(B)— ¹² remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners^(C) to the covenants of the promise,^(D) without hope^(E) and without God in the world. ¹³ But now in Christ Jesus you who once^(F) were far away have been brought near^(G) by the blood of Christ.^(H)

⁸ For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews^[a](A) on behalf of God’s truth, so that the promises^(B) made to the patriarchs might be confirmed ⁹ and, moreover, that the Gentiles^(C) might glorify God^(D) for his mercy. As it is written:

¹⁰ Again, it says,

¹¹ And again,

¹² And again, Isaiah says,

¹³ May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace^(J) as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.^(K)

Paul the Minister to the Gentiles

¹⁴ I myself am convinced, my brothers and sisters, that you yourselves are full of goodness,^(L) filled with knowledge^(M) and competent to instruct one another. ¹⁵ Yet I have written you quite boldly on some points to remind you of them again, because of the grace God gave me^{(N) 16} to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles.^(O) He gave me the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God,^(P) so that the Gentiles might become an offering^(Q) acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

¹⁷ Therefore I glory in Christ Jesus^(R) in my service to God.^{(S) 18} I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles^(T) to obey God^(U) by what I have said and done— ¹⁹ by the power of signs and wonders,^(V) through the power of the Spirit of God.^(W) So from Jerusalem^(X) all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.^(Y)

¹² For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile^(A)—the same Lord is Lord of all^(B) and richly blesses all who call on him, ¹³ for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord^(C) will be saved.”^[a](D)
