entrust himself: commit himself to them, rely on them This is the same verb as “believed” in verse 23. With an object and a person it means to entrust something to someone (Luke 16:11). John plays on the two senses: many believed in him, but he did not entrust himself to them. Since one word cannot carry both senses here, a footnote points out the wordplay.

As for those who were regarded as important (what they once were makes no difference to me, since God is not swayed by a person’s standing), those leaders added nothing to my message. On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel for the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been for the circumcised. For God, who was at work in Peter to make him an apostle to the circumcised, was also at work in me for the Gentiles. James, Cephas and John, who were regarded as pillars, recognized the grace that had been given to me, and they gave Barnabas and me the right hand of fellowship. We agreed that we would go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.

“Abraham believed God, and that was counted to him as righteousness.”
But to someone who does no work, yet believes in the God who declares the ungodly righteous, that faith is counted as righteousness. David says the same when he speaks of the happiness of the one whom God counts as righteous apart from works:
Circumcision was given to him afterward as a sign, a seal on the righteousness that was already his by faith before he was circumcised. In this way he is father to everyone who believes without being circumcised, so that righteousness is counted to them. And he is father to the circumcised as well: not to those who are merely circumcised, but to those who walk the same road of faith our father Abraham walked while still uncircumcised.
So the promise comes through faith, in order that it may rest on grace and stand firm for every one of Abraham’s offspring: not only for those who belong to the law, but also for those who belong to the faith of Abraham, the father of all of us. Scripture says, “I have made you father of many nations.” Before God he is our father, the God he believed, who brings the dead to life and calls into being things that do not exist.
Hoping when there was no ground for hope, Abraham believed, and so he became the father of many nations, as God had said to him, “That is how many your offspring will be.”
The words “it was counted to him” were not written for Abraham alone, but for us as well. It will be counted to us who believe in the God who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. Jesus was handed over to die because of our trespasses, and he was raised so that we would be declared righteous.
Now if we died along with Christ, we believe we are also going to share in his life.
Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as though it came by works. They stumbled over the stone that makes people stumble, as it is written, “See, I am setting in Zion a stone to stumble on, a rock that makes them fall, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”
For Christ is the end of the law, bringing righteousness to everyone who believes.
If you declare with your lips that Jesus is Lord, and in your heart believe that God raised him from the dead, then you will be saved.
For people believe with the heart, and this leads to righteousness; they confess with the mouth, and this leads to salvation.
For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”
How, then, are they to call on him if they have not believed in him?
And how are they to believe in him if they have never heard him?
But not all have obeyed the gospel. Isaiah asks, “Lord, who has believed what we have told?”
Do this because you know what time it is: it is already time for you to wake up out of sleep. Our salvation is closer now than it was when we first believed.
One person believes it is right to eat anything, while another, who is weak, eats only vegetables.
May the God of hope fill you with joy and peace of every kind as you believe, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you overflow with hope.

As for those who were regarded as important (what they once were makes no difference to me, since God is not swayed by a person’s standing), those leaders added nothing to my message. On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel for the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been for the circumcised. For God, who was at work in Peter to make him an apostle to the circumcised, was also at work in me for the Gentiles. James, Cephas and John, who were regarded as pillars, recognized the grace that had been given to me, and they gave Barnabas and me the right hand of fellowship. We agreed that we would go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.

We ourselves are Jews by birth, not Gentile sinners. Yet we know that no one is justified by works of the law; a person is justified only through faith in Jesus Christ. So we too have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because no human being will be justified by works of the law.

And you also are in him. You heard the message of truth, the gospel that brings you salvation, and you believed; and in him you were sealed with the Holy Spirit God had promised. The Spirit is the down payment on our inheritance, until God redeems those who are his own possession, so that his glory will be praised.
For this reason, since I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s holy people, I have never stopped thanking God for you. I mention you whenever I pray, asking the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, to give you the Spirit who brings wisdom and revelation as you come to know him. With the eyes of your heart opened to the light, you will know what hope his call holds out to you, how rich and glorious an inheritance he has in his holy people, and how far beyond all measure is his power at work for us who believe. It is the working of his mighty strength, which he put to work in Christ when he raised him from the dead and set him at his right hand in the heavenly places, high above every ruler and authority, every power and dominion, and every name that can be named, not only in this age but in the age to come as well.

Just one thing: live as citizens in a way worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or am away and only hear about you, I will know that you are standing firm in one spirit, striving side by side as one for the faith of the gospel, and not letting your opponents frighten you in any way. This courage is a sign to them of their destruction, but of your salvation, and it comes from God. For God has given you the gift, for the sake of Christ, not only of believing in him but also of suffering for him. You are in the same contest that you once watched me face, and that you now hear I am facing still.

Our preaching does not come from error or from impure motives, and it uses no deceit. Instead, God has tested us and approved us to be entrusted with the gospel, and that is how we speak: not to please people, but to please God, who tests our hearts.

We are bound to thank God for you at all times, brothers and sisters, and rightly so, because your faith is growing beyond measure and the love every one of you has for the others keeps increasing. So we ourselves speak proudly of you among the churches of God, because of your endurance and faith in all the persecutions and troubles you are bearing. All this is evidence that God judges rightly, and the result will be that you are counted worthy of God’s kingdom, for which you are suffering. For it is right for God to repay with suffering those who make you suffer, and to give rest to you who suffer, as to us also, when the Lord Jesus appears from heaven with his mighty angels in a blaze of fire, bringing punishment on those who do not know God and on those who refuse to obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. They will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, cut off from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power, on that day when he comes to be glorified among his holy people and marveled at by all who believed. And you are among those believers, for when we bore witness to you, you believed it.
