Yet I dare not boast about anything except what Christ has done through me, bringing the Gentiles to God by my message and by the way I worked among them.

除了基督藉我做的那些事，我什么都不敢提，只提他藉我言语作为，用神迹奇事的能力，并圣灵的能力，使外邦人顺服；

除了基督藉我做的那些事，我什么都不敢提，只提他藉我的言语作为，用神迹奇事的能力，并上帝的灵的能力，使外邦人顺服；甚至我从耶路撒冷，直转到以利哩古，到处传了基督的福音。

除了基督藉我做的那些事，我什么都不敢提，只提他藉我的言语作为，用神迹奇事的能力，并神的灵的能力，使外邦人顺服；甚至我从耶路撒冷，直转到以利哩古，到处传了基督的福音。

别的事我不敢提，只有一件是我津津乐道的，就是基督借着我的言语行为，用神迹奇事和圣灵的大能叫外族人顺服，使我把基督的福音从耶路撒冷一路传到了以利哩古。

别的我不敢说，我只说基督藉着我所作的事，就是用言语行为，藉着神迹和奇事的大能，以及圣灵的大能，使外族人顺服；这样，我从耶路撒冷直到以利里古，把基督的福音都传开了。

我什么都不敢说，只说基督藉着我所完成的事，就是为了外邦人的顺从，他藉着我所说的和所做的事，

除了基督藉我做的那些事，我甚麼都不敢提，只提他藉我言語作為，用神蹟奇事的能力，並聖靈的能力，使外邦人順服；

除了基督藉我做的那些事，我甚麼都不敢提，只提他藉我的言語作為，用神蹟奇事的能力，並上帝的靈的能力，使外邦人順服；甚至我從耶路撒冷，直轉到以利哩古，到處傳了基督的福音。

除了基督藉我做的那些事，我甚麼都不敢提，只提他藉我的言語作為，用神蹟奇事的能力，並神的靈的能力，使外邦人順服；甚至我從耶路撒冷，直轉到以利哩古，到處傳了基督的福音。

別的事我不敢提，只有一件是我津津樂道的，就是基督藉著我的言語行為，用神蹟奇事和聖靈的大能叫外族人順服，使我把基督的福音從耶路撒冷一路傳到了以利哩古。

別的我不敢說，我只說基督藉著我所作的事，就是用言語行為，藉著神蹟和奇事的大能，以及聖靈的大能，使外族人順服；這樣，我從耶路撒冷直到以利里古，把基督的福音都傳開了。

因為別的我都不敢說，只說基督藉着我所作成的事：就是他怎樣將言語和行為、

我什麼都不敢說，只說基督藉著我所完成的事，就是為了外邦人的順從，他藉著我所說的和所做的事，

非基督藉我所行之事、我不敢言、

蓋吾所為、基督未助我者、余不敢言、若既以言行、異跡奇事、及上帝神之能、使異邦人悅服矣、余自耶路撒冷、周行至以利哩古、遍傳基督福音、

非基督藉我所成之事不敢言、惟敢言基督藉我以言以行、以異跡奇事之能、及天主之神之大力、使異邦人順從、如是、我自耶路撒冷及其四周、至於以利利公、遍傳基督福音、

然吾亦何敢自誇；吾之所以能使異邦人歸化者、實由基督躬自成之、

I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obey God by what I have said and done—

I will speak about what Christ has done through me. I won’t try to speak about anything else. He has been leading the Gentiles to obey God. He has been doing this by what I have said and done.

For I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to bring the Gentiles to obedience— by word and deed,

For I would not dare say anything except what Christ has accomplished through me by word and deed for the obedience of the Gentiles,

For I will not presume to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me, resulting in the obedience of the Gentiles by word and deed,

For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ has not accomplished through me, in word and deed, to make the Gentiles obedient—

For I will not dare to speak of any things save those which Christ wrought through me, for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,

For I would not dare say anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to make the Gentiles obedient by word and deed,

For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,

For I will not dare to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in order to bring about the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,

For I will not dare to speak of any things except those which Christ worked through me, for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,

Everyone listened quietly as Barnabas and Paul told about the miraculous signs and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles.

Through Christ, God has given us the privilege and authority as apostles to tell Gentiles everywhere what God has done for them, so that they will believe and obey him, bringing glory to his name.

A person who promises a gift but doesn’t give it is like clouds and wind that bring no rain.

After greeting them, Paul gave a detailed account of the things God had accomplished among the Gentiles through his ministry.

But now as the prophets foretold and as the eternal God has commanded, this message is made known to all Gentiles everywhere, so that they too might believe and obey him.

comfort you and strengthen you in every good thing you do and say.

For the same God who worked through Peter as the apostle to the Jews also worked through me as the apostle to the Gentiles.

But even Michael, one of the mightiest of the angels, did not dare accuse the devil of blasphemy, but simply said,“ The Lord rebuke you!”( This took place when Michael was arguing with the devil about Moses’ body.)

Are we beginning to praise ourselves again? Are we like others, who need to bring you letters of recommendation, or who ask you to write such letters on their behalf? Surely not!The only letter of recommendation we need is you yourselves. Your lives are a letter written in our hearts; everyone can read it and recognize our good work among you.Clearly, you are a letter from Christ showing the result of our ministry among you. This“ letter” is written not with pen and ink, but with the Spirit of the living God. It is carved not on tablets of stone, but on human hearts.

It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home and go to another land that God would give him as his inheritance. He went without knowing where he was going.

God, the Father of our Lord Jesus, who is worthy of eternal praise, knows I am not lying.

I preached first to those in Damascus, then in Jerusalem and throughout all Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that all must repent of their sins and turn to God— and prove they have changed by the good things they do.

And the disciples went everywhere and preached, and the Lord worked through them, confirming what they said by many miraculous signs.

Jesus came and told his disciples,“ I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Upon arriving in Antioch, they called the church together and reported everything God had done through them and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles, too.

But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.

And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.

In this way, God qualified him as a perfect High Priest, and he became the source of eternal salvation for all those who obey him.

Thank God! Once you were slaves of sin, but now you wholeheartedly obey this teaching we have given you.

I planted the seed in your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was God who made it grow.It’s not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What’s important is that God makes the seed grow.The one who plants and the one who waters work together with the same purpose. And both will be rewarded for their own hard work.For we are both God’s workers. And you are God’s field. You are God’s building.

When they arrived in Jerusalem, Barnabas and Paul were welcomed by the whole church, including the apostles and elders. They reported everything God had done through them.

We will not boast about things done outside our area of authority. We will boast only about what has happened within the boundaries of the work God has given us, which includes our working with you.We are not reaching beyond these boundaries when we claim authority over you, as if we had never visited you. For we were the first to travel all the way to Corinth with the Good News of Christ.Nor do we boast and claim credit for the work someone else has done. Instead, we hope that your faith will grow so that the boundaries of our work among you will be extended.Then we will be able to go and preach the Good News in other places far beyond you, where no one else is working. Then there will be no question of our boasting about work done in someone else’s territory.As the Scriptures say,“ If you want to boast, boast only about the Lord.”When people commend themselves, it doesn’t count for much. The important thing is for the Lord to commend them.

We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments.We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.

As God’s partners, we beg you not to accept this marvelous gift of God’s kindness and then ignore it.

If I wanted to boast, I would be no fool in doing so, because I would be telling the truth. But I won’t do it, because I don’t want anyone to give me credit beyond what they can see in my life or hear in my message,

Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions.
