Romans 15:16-18

Contemporary English Version

¹⁶ He chose me to be a servant of Christ Jesus for the Gentiles and to do the work of a priest in the service of his good news. God did this so that the Holy Spirit could make the Gentiles into a holy offering, pleasing to him.

¹⁷ Because of Christ Jesus, I can take pride in my service for God. ¹⁸ In fact, all I will talk about is how Christ let me speak and work, so that the Gentiles would obey him.
