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,

² if, indeed, ye did hear of the dispensation of the grace of God that was given to me in regard to you,

²³ if also ye remain in the faith, being founded and settled, and not moved away from the hope of the good news, which ye heard, which was preached in all the creation that `is' under the heaven, of which I became -- I Paul -- a ministrant.

¹⁵ and the more boldly I did write to you, brethren, in part, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me by God,

¹⁶ for my being a servant of Jesus Christ to the nations, acting as priest in the good news of God, that the offering up of the nations may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

¹⁷ I have, then, a boasting in Christ Jesus, in the things pertaining to God,

¹⁸ for I will not dare to speak anything of the things that Christ did not work through me, to obedience of nations, by word and deed,

¹⁹ in power of signs and wonders, in power of the Spirit of God; so that I, from Jerusalem, and in a circle as far as Illyricum, have fully preached the good news of the Christ;

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,

⁸ for He who did work with Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, did work also in me in regard to the nations,

² and did send Timotheus -- our brother, and a ministrant of God, and our fellow-workman in the good news of the Christ -- to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith,

⁶ These things placing before the brethren, thou shalt be a good ministrant of Jesus Christ, being nourished by the words of the faith, and of the good teaching, which thou didst follow after,

² preach the word; be earnest in season, out of season, convict, rebuke, exhort, in all long-suffering and teaching,

³ for there shall be a season when the sound teaching they will not suffer, but according to their own desires to themselves they shall heap up teachers -- itching in the hearing,

⁴ and indeed, from the truth the hearing they shall turn away, and to the fables they shall be turned aside.

⁵ And thou -- watch in all things; suffer evil; do the work of one proclaiming good news; of thy ministration make full assurance,

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