Romans 15:16

Jesus Is Mocked

¹⁵ But I have written more boldly to you on some points so as to remind you, because of the grace given to me by God ¹⁶ to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles. I serve the gospel of God like a priest, so that the Gentiles may become an acceptable offering, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. ¹⁷ So I boast in Christ Jesus about the things that pertain to God.
