OLBGrk;

Whereunto I am ordained a preacher; for the publishing and making known of which testimony of the Divine goodness and truth I am set, or appointed, 2 Timothy 1:11, eteyhn, a preacher, or a public officer to proclaim and make it known. And an apostle; and am immediately called by Christ, and sent out upon that employment. I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not; I call Christ to witness that I speak nothing but what I know to be true. It is a phrase which hath, if not the form, yet the force of an oath; and was necessary in this case, for it was not easy to persuade the Jews that God had sent any to reveal the way of salvation to the Gentiles. A teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity; and my special province was to teach the Gentiles, Acts 9:15, Acts 26:17 Galatians 2:7; and to instruct them in the doctrine of faith and truth: or, I was set faithfully and truly to instruct the Gentiles.
