Paul Talks About His Work

¹⁴ My brothers and sisters, I am ·sure [fully convinced] that you are [indeed] full of goodness. I know that you ·have all the knowledge you need [^Lare filled with all knowledge] and that you are able to ·teach [instruct; admonish; warn] each other. ¹⁵ But I have written to you very ·openly [boldly] about some ·things [points; ^Lparts] I wanted you to remember. I did this because ·God gave me this special gift [or of the grace God gave me]: ¹⁶ to be a ·minister [servant] of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles. I ·served God [or perform priestly service] ·by teaching his Good News [for the Good News/Gospel of/about God], so that the Gentiles could be an offering that God would accept—an offering ·made holy [sanctified; purified] by the Holy Spirit.
