Galatians 2:7

But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:

But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.

Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.

To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.

And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;

Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.

And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.

Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.

It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:

For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
