Second Day
Read Romans 15:14-16
Romans 15:14-16
[14] But I myself am fully convinced about you, my brothers and sisters, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and able to instruct one another. [15] But I have written more boldly to you on some points so as to remind you, because of the grace given to me by God [16] to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles. I serve the gospel of God like a priest, so that the Gentiles may become an acceptable offering, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. (NET)
Question 4b
Ephesians 2:8-10
[8] For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God; [9] it is not from works, so that no one can boast. [10] For we are his creative work, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works that God prepared beforehand so we can do them. (NET)
Third Day
Read Romans 15:17-22
Romans 15:17-22
[17] So I boast in Christ Jesus about the things that pertain to God. [18] For I will not dare to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in order to bring about the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed, [19] in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem even as far as Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ. [20] And in this way I desire to preach where Christ has not been named, so as not to build on another person’s foundation, [21] but as it is written: “Those who were not told about him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.”
[22] This is the reason I was often hindered from coming to you. (NET)
Question 6a
Acts 9:15-18
[15] But the Lord said to him, “Go, because this man is my chosen instrument to carry my name before Gentiles and kings and the people of Israel. [16] For I will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name.” [17] So Ananias departed and entered the house, placed his hands on Saul and said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came here, has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” [18] Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized, (NET)
Fourth Day
Read Romans 15:23-29
Romans 15:23-29
[23] But now there is nothing more to keep me in these regions, and I have for many years desired to come to you [24] when I go to Spain. For I hope to visit you when I pass through and that you will help me on my journey there, after I have enjoyed your company for a while.
[25] But now I go to Jerusalem to minister to the saints. [26] For Macedonia and Achaia are pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem. [27] For they were pleased to do this, and indeed they are indebted to the Jerusalem saints. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they are obligated also to minister to them in material things. [28] Therefore after I have completed this and have safely delivered this bounty to them, I will set out for Spain by way of you, [29] and I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of Christ’s blessing.

[30] Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, through our Lord Jesus Christ and through the love of the Spirit, to join fervently with me in prayer to God on my behalf. [31] Pray that I may be rescued from those who are disobedient in Judea and that my ministry in Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints, [32] so that by God’s will I may come to you with joy and be refreshed in your company. [33] Now may the God of peace be with all of you. Amen. (NET)
