<p class="bodytext">Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Seeing that I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,

For even Christ did not please himself, but just as it is written, &#8220;<b><i>The insults of those who insult you have fallen on mei>b>.&#8221;<n id="1" />

And again Isaiah says, &#8220;<i><b>The root of Jesse will comeb>, <b>and the one who rises to rule over the Gentilesb>, <b>in him will the Gentiles hopeb>i>.&#8221;<n id="1" />

Rather, <i><b>if your enemy is hungryb>, <b>feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing this you will be heaping burning coals on his headb>i>.<n id="1" />

Your obedience is known to all and thus I rejoice over you. But I want you to be wise in what is good and innocent in what is evil.
