preached to you, which you have received and on which you have taken your stand.

•1 Corinthians 3:6–9 (ch. 10) “I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it

sake of Christ. 8What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing
worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider
them garbage, that I may gain Christ 9and be found in him, not having a righteousness of
my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith ina Christ—the
righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. 10I want to know Christ—yes,
to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like
him in his death,”
•John 3:16 (ch. 12) “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that

•Romans 10:9–17 (ch. 13) “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in
your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that
you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are
saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”e For
there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly
blesses all who call on him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be
saved.” How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they
believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone
preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How
beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” But not all the Israelites accepted the
good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?” Consequently, faith
comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.”
•John 20:21 (ch. 13) “Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I
am sending you.”
•Mark 5:19 (ch. 13) “Jesus did not let him, but said, “Go home to your own people and tell
them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.”
•John 17:18 (ch. 13) “As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world”

God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the
Gentile.”
•Philippians 1:14, 18 (ch. 14) “And because of my chains, most of the brothers and sisters
have become confident in the Lord and dare all the more to proclaim the gospel without
fear.” “But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether
from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.”
