Romans 15:15-17

Contemporary English Version

¹⁵ But I have spoken to you plainly and have tried to remind you of some things. God treated me with undeserved grace! 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.
