that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place
among those who are sanctified by faith in me. (Acts 26:
16-18)
11. PURPOSE IN CHRIST
2. And so I have made it my aim to preach the gospel, not

“To whom He was not announced, they shall see;
And those who have not heard shall understand.”
(Romans 15: 20-21)
12. 3. For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of,
for necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not
preach the gospel! (1 Cor 9:16)
4. But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so
that the message might be preached fully through me,
and that all the Gentiles might hear. Also I was delivered
out of the mouth of the lion. 18 And the Lord will deliver me
from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly
kingdom. To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen! (2

crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous
Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only
but also to all who have loved His appearing.
