Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight[ thereof], not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;Neither as being lords over[ God’s] heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart.

But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD,[ was] not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou[ art] a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for[ it is] better for me to die than to live.

According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did[ it] ignorantly in unbelief.

If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery;( as I wrote afore in few words,Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

But who[ am] I, and what[ is] my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things[ come] of thee, and of thine own have we given thee.
