And I say, Jesus Christ has become a minister of circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises of the fathers,

and for the nations to glorify God for mercy, even as it has been written, "Because of this I will confess to You in the nations, and I will give praise to Your name." Psa. 18:49

And may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, for you to abound in hope, in power of the Holy Spirit.

But I wrote to you more boldly, brothers, as reminding you in part, because of the grace given to me by God,

for me to be a minister of Jesus Christ to the nations, sacredly ministering the gospel of God, that the offering of the nations might be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

Therefore I have boasting in Christ Jesus as to the things pertaining to God.

in power of miraculous signs and wonders, in power of the Spirit of God, so as for me to have fulfilled the preaching of the gospel of Christ from Jerusalem and in a circle as far as Illyricum.

But I exhort you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God on my behalf,

that I may come to you in joy through the will of God, and that I may be refreshed with you.

And the God of peace be with all of you. Amen.

And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I give thanks to my God always concerning you for the grace of God given to you in Christ Jesus,

God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

I give thanks to God that I did not baptize any one of you, except Crispus and Gaius,

For the Word of the cross is foolishness to those being lost, but to us being saved, it is the power of God.
