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:

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.

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.

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

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

Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

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

And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we {should go} unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.

For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation {of the gospel} is committed unto me.

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.

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;

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

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

It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

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

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.

And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men {and} brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.

Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; {to fulfil...: or, fully to preach the word}

For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation {of the gospel} is committed unto me.

And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.

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

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:

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

And Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These only {are my} fellowworkers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me.

But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.

Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.

That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.

Paul, called {to be} an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes {our} brother,

Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord?

And Simon he surnamed Peter;

And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all {quarters}, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.

That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost. {offering up: or, sacrificing}

Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?

But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before {them} all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?

But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
