TSK · Ephesians 3:2

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.

I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles, to whom I am sending you

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

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

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