Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim that anything comes from us, but our competence comes from God.
Through Him and on behalf of His name, we received grace and apostleship to call all those among the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith.
By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name,
