Galatians 2:8

But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:

Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.

And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.

And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.

Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.

If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.

But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth...

He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
