let all the peoples praise you.(C)

for you judge the peoples with fairness
and lead the nations on earth.(D) Selah

let all the peoples praise you.(E)

and all the ends of the earth will fear him.(G)
Paul Selects Timothy
16 Paul went on to Derbe and Lystra, where there was a disciple named Timothy,(A) the son of a believing Jewish woman,(B) but his father was a Greek. 2 The brothers and sisters at Lystra and Iconium spoke highly of him.(C) 3 Paul wanted Timothy to go with him; so he took him and circumcised(D) him because of the Jews who were in those places, since they all knew that his father was a Greek. 4 As they travelled through the towns, they delivered the decisions reached by the apostles and elders at Jerusalem for the people to observe.(E) 5 So the churches were strengthened in the faith and grew daily in numbers.(F)
Evangelisation of Europe
6 They went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia; they had been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.(G) 7 When they came to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus(H) did not allow them. 8 Passing by Mysia they went down to Troas.(I)
