¹¹ according to the good news of the glory of the blessed God, with which I was entrusted.

⁷ but, on the contrary, having seen that I have been entrusted with the good news of the uncircumcision, as Peter with `that' of the circumcision,

¹⁵ which in His own times He shall shew -- the blessed and only potentate, the King of the kings and Lord of the lords,

⁴ in whom the god of this age did blind the minds of the unbelieving, that there doth not shine forth to them the enlightening of the good news of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God;

³ (and He manifested in proper times His word,) in preaching, which I was entrusted with, according to a charge of God our Saviour,

¹⁶ in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my good news, through Jesus Christ.

⁷ in regard to which I was set a preacher and apostle -- truth I say in Christ, I do not lie -- a teacher of nations, in faith and truth.

²⁰ O Timotheus, the thing entrusted guard thou, avoiding the profane vain-words and opposition of the falsely-named knowledge,

¹¹ to which I was placed a preacher and an apostle, and a teacher of nations,

¹⁴ the good thing committed guard thou through the Holy Spirit that is dwelling in us;

² and the things that thou didst hear from me through many witnesses, these things be committing to stedfast men, who shall be sufficient also others to teach;

¹¹ searching in regard to what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ that was in them was manifesting, testifying beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glory after these,

¹² to whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us they were ministering these, which now were told to you (through those who did proclaim good news to you,) in the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, to which things messengers do desire to bend looking.

⁴ but as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the good news, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who is proving our hearts,

²⁵ of which I -- I did become a ministrant according to the dispensation of God, that was given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God,

¹⁰ that there might be made known now to the principalities and the authorities in the heavenly `places', through the assembly, the manifold wisdom of God,

¹⁰ And the messenger said to them, `Fear not, for lo, I bring you good news of great joy, that shall be to all the people --

¹¹ because there was born to you to-day a Saviour -- who is Christ the Lord -- in the city of David,

¹⁴ `Glory in the highest to God, and upon earth peace, among men -- good will.'

¹ Let a man so reckon us as officers of Christ, and stewards of the secrets of God,

² and as to the rest, it is required in the stewards that one may be found faithful,

¹⁷ for if willing I do this, I have a reward; and if unwillingly -- with a stewardship I have been entrusted!

⁸ how shall the ministration of the Spirit not be more in glory?

⁹ for if the ministration of the condemnation `is' glory, much more doth the ministration of the righteousness abound in glory;

¹⁰ for also even that which hath been glorious, hath not been glorious -- in this respect, because of the superior glory;

¹¹ for if that which is being made useless `is' through glory, much more that which is remaining `is' in glory.

⁶ because `it is' God who said, Out of darkness light `is' to shine, who did shine in our hearts, for the enlightening of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

¹⁸ And the all things `are' of God, who reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and did give to us the ministration of the reconciliation,

¹⁹ how that God was in Christ -- a world reconciling to Himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses; and having put in us the word of the reconciliation,

²⁰ in behalf of Christ, then, we are ambassadors, as if God were calling through us, we beseech, in behalf of Christ, `Be ye reconciled to God;'

⁶ to the praise of the glory of His grace, in which He did make us accepted in the beloved,

¹² for our being to the praise of His glory, `even' those who did first hope in the Christ,

⁷ that He might show, in the ages that are coming, the exceeding riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus,

² I bow myself toward Thy holy temple, And I confess Thy name, For Thy kindness, and for Thy truth, For Thou hast made great Thy saying above all Thy name.
