¹⁶For I am not ashamed of the Gospel. For it is the power of God unto salvation for all believers, the Jew first, and the Greek.

²⁴For the servant of the Lord must not be contentious, but instead he must be meek toward everyone, teachable, patient, ²⁵correcting with self-restraint those who resist the truth. For at any time God may give them repentance, so as to recognize the truth, ²⁶and then they may recover from the snares of the devil, by whom they are held captive at his will.

⁴²And he instructed us to preach to the people, and to testify that he is the One who was appointed by God to be the judge of the living and of the dead.

¹⁹Therefore, go forth and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰teaching them to observe all that I have ever commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, even to the consummation of the age.”

⁷And going forth, preach, saying: ‘For the kingdom of heaven has drawn near.’

¹⁶For God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that all who believe in him may not perish, but may have eternal life.

¹And so I make known to you, brothers, the Gospel that I preached to you, which you also received, and on which you stand. ²By the Gospel, too, you are being saved, if you hold to the understanding that I preached to you, lest you believe in vain. ³For I handed on to you, first of all, what I also received: that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures; ⁴and that he was buried; and that he rose again on the third day, according to the Scriptures; ⁵and that he was seen by Cephas, and after that by the eleven. ⁶Next he was seen by more than five hundred brothers at one time, many of whom remain, even to the present time, although some have fallen asleep.

²that you should preach the word urgently, in season and out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke, with all patience and doctrine.

¹⁵and saying: “For the time has been fulfilled and the kingdom of God has drawn near. Repent and believe in the Gospel.”

³But those who have taught will shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who instruct many towards justice, like the stars for unending eternity.

¹And so I make known to you, brothers, the Gospel that I preached to you, which you also received, and on which you stand. ²By the Gospel, too, you are being saved, if you hold to the understanding that I preached to you, lest you believe in vain. ³For I handed on to you, first of all, what I also received: that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures; ⁴and that he was buried; and that he rose again on the third day, according to the Scriptures;

²⁷What I tell you in darkness, speak in the light. And what you hear whispered in the ear, preach above the rooftops.

¹⁵Then, when they had dined, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” ¹⁶He said to him again: “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” ¹⁷He said to him a third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was very grieved that he had asked him a third time, “Do you love me?” And so he said to him: “Lord, you know all things. You know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my sheep.

¹³For all those who have called upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

⁸Cure the infirm, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You have received freely, so give freely.

²⁶For you are all sons of God, through the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
