So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ. 20 It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation. 21 Rather, as it is written: 'Those who were not told about Him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.'

He made me into a polished arrow and concealed me in His quiver. 3 He said to me, 'You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will display my glory.' 4 But I said, 'I have worked in vain; I have spent my strength for nothing and futility. Yet surely my vindication is with the Lord, and my reward is with my God.' 5 And now this is what the Lord says—He who formed me in the womb to be His servant, to bring Jacob back to Him and gather Israel to Himself. For I have been honored in the eyes of the Lord, and my God has been my strength. 6 He says, 'It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back the preserved ones of Israel. I will also make you a light to the nations so that you may bring my salvation to the ends of the earth.'

Listen carefully to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of food. 3 Incline your ear and come to me; listen, so that your soul may live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, my faithful love promised to David.
