15 But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a ^kchosen instrument of mine to carry my name ^lbefore the Gentiles and ^mkings and the children of Israel.

6 And when they opposed and reviled him, he shook out his ^xgarments and said to them, ^y“Your ^zblood be on your own heads! I am innocent. From now on I will ^ago to the Gentiles.”

13 Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an ^qapostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry

16 was pleased ^ato reveal his Son to¹ me, ^bin order that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with anyone;²

7 On the contrary, when they saw that ^xI had been ^yentrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised 8 (for he who ^zworked through Peter for his ^aapostolic ministry to the circumcised ^bworked also through me for mine to the Gentiles), 9 and when James and Cephas and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived ^cthe grace that was given to me, they gave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.

8 To me, ^othough I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

7 For this I was ^kappointed a preacher and an ^lapostle ^m(I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
