Romans 11:13
“For I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since then as I am an apostle to Gentiles, I glorify my ministry;”
What does Romans 11:13 mean?
Paul is addressing non-Jewish believers directly here, reminding them that his special calling as an apostle was specifically to reach people like them, beyond the Jewish community. He's not boasting when he says he glorifies his ministry, but rather emphasizing how seriously he takes this responsibility and how much it matters to him. In context, he's building toward an important point: Gentile Christians shouldn't look down on Jewish people or feel spiritually superior, since Paul himself takes pride in his work bringing outsiders into God's family. It's a humble way of saying, "This work of including you was important to God, and I've given my life to it."
