(7) For this I was appointed a heralding proclaimer, an ambassador. I'm telling the firm truth, I'm not lying as a teacher of Gentile nations in believing faith and firm truth.
The F.O.G
[7] This is why I was appointed as a herald, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles—I'm telling the absolute truth about my calling, not exaggerating! I was commissioned to teach them about faith and truth—like a torch bearer carrying light into darkness.

in regard to which I was set a preacher and apostle—truth I say in Christ, I do not lie—a teacher of nations, in faith and truth.
