Surely you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me for you,

I am sure you have heard that God appointed me to share his grace with you.

assuming that you have heard of the stewardship of God’s grace that was given to me for you,

assuming, by the way, that you know God gave me the special responsibility of extending his grace to you Gentiles.

assuming you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that he gave me for you.

if indeed you have heard of the administration of God’s grace which was given to me for you;

if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you,

if so be that ye have heard of the dispensation of that grace of God which was given me to you- ward;

you have heard, haven’t you, about the administration of God’s grace that He gave to me for you?

If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:

if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you,

For this gospel I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher.

I became a servant of the church according to the stewardship from God– given to me for you– in order to complete the word of God,that is, the mystery that has been kept hidden from ages and generations, but has now been revealed to his saints.God wanted to make known to them the glorious riches of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

But when the one who set me apart from birth and called me by his grace was pleasedto reveal his Son in me so that I could preach him among the Gentiles, I did not go to ask advice from any human being,

Through him we have received grace and our apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles on behalf of his name.

This accords with the glorious gospel of the blessed God that was entrusted to me.

But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

Then he said to me,‘ Go, because I will send you far away to the Gentiles.’”

Both Paul and Barnabas replied courageously,“ It was necessary to speak the word of God to you first. Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we are turning to the Gentiles.

While they were serving the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said,“ Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”

toward the administration of the fullness of the times, to head up all things in Christ– the things in heaven and the things on earth.

For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how I was savagely persecuting the church of God and trying to destroy it.

For this I was appointed a preacher and apostle– I am telling the truth; I am not lying– and a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward. But if I do it unwillingly, I am entrusted with a responsibility.What then is my reward? That when I preach the gospel I may offer the gospel free of charge, and so not make full use of my rights in the gospel.For since I am free from all I can make myself a slave to all, in order to gain even more people.To the Jews I became like a Jew to gain the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law( though I myself am not under the law) to gain those under the law.To those free from the law I became like one free from the law( though I am not free from God’s law but under the law of Christ) to gain those free from the law.To the weak I became weak in order to gain the weak. I have become all things to all people, so that by all means I may save some.

For by the grace given to me I say to every one of you not to think more highly of yourself than you ought to think, but to think with sober discernment, as God has distributed to each of you a measure of faith.

( for he who empowered Peter for his apostleship to the circumcised also empowered me for my apostleship to the Gentiles)and when James, Cephas, and John, who had a reputation as pillars, recognized the grace that had been given to me, they gave to Barnabas and me the right hand of fellowship, agreeing that we would go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.

Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Seeing that I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,

if indeed you heard about him and were taught in him, just as the truth is in Jesus.

since we heard about your faith in Christ Jesus and the love that you have for all the saints.

To me– less than the least of all the saints– this grace was given, to proclaim to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ

I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles, to whom I am sending youto open their eyes so that they turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a share among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’

But the Lord said to him,“ Go, because this man is my chosen instrument to carry my name before Gentiles and kings and the people of Israel.

nor to occupy themselves with myths and interminable genealogies. Such things promote useless speculations rather than God’s redemptive plan that operates by faith.

But I have written more boldly to you on some points so as to remind you, because of the grace given to me by Godto be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles. I serve the gospel of God like a priest, so that the Gentiles may become an acceptable offering, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

One should think about us this way– as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

that has come to you. Just as in the entire world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing, so it has also been bearing fruit and growing among you from the first day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth.
