Jesus

And againe he saith, Reioyce, ye Gentiles with his people.

And againe, Prayse the Lord, all ye Gentiles, and laude ye him, all people together.

And againe Esaias sayth, There shall be a roote of Iesse, and hee that shall rise to reigne ouer the Gentiles, in him shall the Gentiles trust.

That I should be the minister of Iesus Christ toward the Gentiles, ministring the Gospel of God, that the offering vp of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the holy Ghost.

I haue therefore whereof I may reioyce in Christ Iesus in those things which pertaine to God.

For I dare not speake of any thing, which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient in worde and deede,

With the power of signes and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God: so that from Hierusalem, and round about vnto Illyricum, I haue caused to abound the Gospel of Christ.

Yea, so I enforced my selfe to preach the Gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should haue built on another mans foundation.

But as it is written, To whome hee was not spoken of, they shall see him, and they that heard not, shall vnderstand him.

And I knowe when I come, that I shall come to you with abundance of the blessing of the Gospel of Christ.

Also brethren, I beseeche you for our Lord Iesus Christes sake, and for the loue of the spirit, that ye would striue with me by prayers to God for me,

That ye receiue her in the Lord, as it becommeth Saintes, and that ye assist her in whatsoeuer businesse she needeth of your ayde: for she hath giuen hospitalitie vnto many, and to me also.

Greete Priscilla, and Aquila my fellowe helpers in Christ Iesus,

Likewise greete the Church that is in their house. Salute my beloued Epenetus, which is the first fruites of Achaia in Christ.

Salute Andronicus and Iunia my cousins and fellowe prisoners, which are notable among the Apostles, and were in Christ before me.

Greete Amplias my beloued in the Lord.

Salute Vrbanus our fellow helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloued.

Salute Apelles approoued in Christ. Salute them which are of Aristobulus friendes.

Salute Herodion my kinsman. Greete them which are of the friendes of Narcissus which are in the Lord.

Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, which women labour in the Lord. Salute the beloued Persis, which woman hath laboured much in the Lord.

Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.

Salute one another with an holy kisse. The Churches of Christ salute you.

For they that are such, serue not the Lord Iesus Christ, but their owne bellies, and with faire speach and flattering deceiue the heartes of the simple.

The God of peace shall treade Satan vnder your feete shortly. The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with you.

I Tertius, which wrote out this Epistle, salute you in the Lord.
