¹²For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek. For the same Lord is over all, richly in all who call upon him.

¹⁴To the Greeks and to the uncivilized, to the wise and to the foolish, I am in debt.

¹¹where there is neither Gentile nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian nor Scythian, servant nor free. Instead, Christ is everything, in everyone.

⁹After these things, I saw a great crowd, which no one could number, from all the nations and tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and in sight of the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.

²⁸There is neither Jew nor Greek; there is neither servant nor free; there is neither male nor female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.

²⁶And he has made, out of one, every family of man: to live upon the face of the entire earth, determining the appointed seasons and the limits of their habitation,

¹⁸And so the sons of Noah, who came out of the ark, were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Now Ham himself is the father of Canaan. ¹⁹These three are the sons of Noah. And from these all the family of mankind was spread over the whole earth.

¹Then he arrived at Derbe and Lystra. And behold, a certain disciple named Timothy was there, the son of a faithful Jewish woman, his father a Gentile.

¹My brothers, within the glorious faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, do not choose to show favoritism toward persons.

⁵And when he had entered into Capernaum, a centurion approached, petitioning him, ⁶and saying, “Lord, my servant lies at home paralyzed and badly tormented.” ⁷And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.” ⁸And responding, the centurion said: “Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word, and my servant shall be healed. ⁹For I, too, am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” ¹⁰And, hearing this, Jesus wondered. And he said to those following him: “Amen I say to you, I have not found so great a faith in Israel.

¹Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, named Cornelius, a centurion of the cohort which is called Italian, ²a devout man, fearing God with all his house, giving many alms to the people, and praying to God continually. ³This man saw in a vision clearly, at about the ninth hour of the day, the Angel of God entering to him and saying to him: “Cornelius!” ⁴And he, gazing at him, was seized by fear, and he said, “What is it, lord?” And he said to him: “Your prayers and your almsgiving have ascended as a memorial in the sight of God. ⁵And now, send men to Joppa and summon a certain Simon, who is surnamed Peter. ⁶This man is a guest with a certain Simon, a tanner, whose house is beside the sea. He will tell you what you must do.”

⁶²And you will remain few in number, though you were before like the stars of heaven in multitude, because you would not listen to the voice of the Lord your God. ⁶³And just as before, when the Lord rejoiced over you, doing good for you and multiplying you, so shall he rejoice, scattering and overturning you, so as to take you away from the land, which you shall enter in order to possess.
