14<\/sup> My brothers, I am quite sure that you, in particular, are full of goodness, fully instructed and capable of correcting each other.<\/p> 15<\/sup> But I have special confidence in writing on some points to you, to refresh your memories, because of the grace that was given to me by God.<\/p> 16<\/sup> I was given grace to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the gentiles, dedicated to offer them the gospel of God, so that gentiles might become an acceptable offering, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.<\/p> 17<\/sup> So I can be proud, in Christ Jesus, of what I have done for God.<\/p> 18<\/sup> Of course I can dare to speak only of the things which Christ has done through me to win the allegiance of the gentiles, using what I have said and done,<\/p> 19<\/sup> by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God. In this way, from Jerusalem and all round, even as far as Illyricum, I have fully carried out the preaching of the gospel of Christ;<\/p> 20<\/sup> and what is more, it has been my rule to preach the gospel only where the name of Christ has not already been heard, for I do not build on another's foundations;<\/p> 21<\/sup> in accordance with scripture: Those who have never been told about him will see him, and those who have never heard about him will<\/a> understand.<\/p> 1<\/sup> [Psalm] Sing a new song to Yahweh, for he has performed wonders, his saving power is in his right hand and his holy arm.<\/p> 2<\/sup> Yahweh has made known his saving power, revealed his saving justice for the nations to see,<\/p> 3<\/sup> mindful of his faithful love and his constancy to the House of Israel. The whole wide world has seen the saving power of our God.<\/p> 4<\/sup> Acclaim Yahweh, all the earth, burst into shouts of joy!<\/p> 1<\/sup> He also said to his disciples, 'There was a rich man<\/a> and he had a steward who was denounced to him for being wasteful with his property.<\/p> 2<\/sup> He called for the man and said, \"What is this I hear about you? Draw me up an account of your stewardship because you are not to be my steward any longer.\"<\/p> 3<\/sup> Then the steward said to himself, \"Now that my master is taking the stewardship from me, what am I to do? Dig? I am not strong enough. Go begging? I should be too ashamed.<\/p> 4<\/sup> Ah, I know what I will do to make sure that when I am dismissed from office there will<\/a> be some to welcome me into their homes.\"<\/p> 5<\/sup> 'Then he called his master's debtors one by one. To the first he said, \"How much do you owe my master?\"<\/p> 6<\/sup> \"One hundred measures of oil,\" he said. The steward said, \"Here, take your bond; sit down and quickly write fifty.\"<\/p> 7<\/sup> To another he said, \"And you, sir, how much do you owe?\" \"One hundred measures of wheat,\" he said. The steward said, \"Here, take your bond and write eighty.\"<\/p> 8<\/sup> 'The master praised the dishonest steward for his astuteness. For the children of this world are more astute in dealing with their own kind than are the children of light.'<\/p>","categories":[{"id":160,"name":"Daily Bible"}],"tags":[{"id":188,"name":"Daily Bible"}]}Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 98:1, 2-3, 3-4<\/em><\/h3>
