46And Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, saying, “It was necessary that the word of God abe spoken first to you. bSince you thrust it aside and judge yourselves cunworthy of eternal life, behold, we dare turning to the Gentiles. 47 eFor so the Lord has commanded us, saying,

f“‘I have made you ga light for the Gentiles,
that you may hbring salvation to the ends of the earth.’”
 48And when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and iglorifying the word of the Lord, and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed.

16In past generations he jallowed all the nations kto walk in their own ways. 17Yet lhe did not leave himself without witness, for he mdid good by ngiving you rains from heaven and ofruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with pfood and qgladness.” 18Even with these words they scarcely restrained the people from offering sacrifice to them.

Romans 11:18-20

18do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you. 19Then you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” 20That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you aastand fast through faith. So abdo not become proud, but acfear.
