For this gospel I was appointed a herald, apostle, and teacher,and that is why I suffer these things. But I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that he is able to guard what has been entrusted to me until that day.

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves.

Indeed, it is right for me to think this way about all of you, because I have you in my heart, and you are all partners with me in grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel.

For if I preach the gospel, I have no reason to boast, because I am compelled to preach— and woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!For if I do this willingly, I have a reward, but if unwillingly, I am entrusted with a commission.

Now I don’t want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that I often planned to come to you( but was prevented until now) in order that I might have a fruitful ministry among you, just as I have had among the rest of the Gentiles.I am obligated both to Greeks and barbarians, both to the wise and the foolish.So I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek.For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith, just as it is written: The righteous will live by faith.

At my first defense, no one stood by me, but everyone deserted me. May it not be counted against them.

“ Brothers and fathers, listen now to my defense before you.”

Agrippa said to Paul,“ You have permission to speak for yourself.” Then Paul stretched out his hand and began his defense:

For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time for my departure is close.I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

For this I was appointed a herald, an apostle( I am telling the truth; I am not lying), and a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

Therefore make up your minds not to prepare your defense ahead of time,

As he was saying these things in his defense, Festus exclaimed in a loud voice,“ You’re out of your mind, Paul! Too much study is driving you mad.”

On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel for the uncircumcised, just as Peter was for the circumcised,since the one at work in Peter for an apostleship to the circumcised was also at work in me for the Gentiles.
