"For I say to you Gentiles: Certainly, as long as I am an Apostle to the Gentiles, I will honor my ministry, "
— Romans 11:13, Catholic Public Domain Version
“For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:”
“But I speak to you that are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I glorify my ministry; ”
“For I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since then as I am an apostle to Gentiles, I glorify my ministry;”
“Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Seeing that I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,”
“For I say to you, Gentiles: As long indeed as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I will honour my ministry,”
“But I say to you, Gentiles, in so far as I am the Apostle of the Gentiles, I make much of my position:”
“For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:”

For I say to you Gentiles: Certainly, as long as I am an Apostle to the Gentiles, I will honor my ministry,
in such a way that I might provoke to rivalry those who are my own flesh, and so that I may save some of them.
For if their loss is for the reconciliation of the world, what could their return be for, except life out of death?
For if the first-fruit has been sanctified, so also has the whole. And if the root is holy, so also are the branches.
