Acts 13:46-48 But Paul and Barnabas continued to speak out boldly, saying, "It was necessary that the message of God be delivered to you Jews first. But since you have rejected it and thereby consider yourselves to be unworthy of receiving never ending life, we i.e., Paul and Barnabas will now begin proclaiming it to the unconverted Gentiles.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴⁶ But Paul and Barnabas [continued to] speak out boldly, saying, "It was necessary that the message of God be delivered to you [Jews] first. But since you have rejected it and [thereby] consider yourselves to be unworthy of [receiving] never ending life, we [i.e., Paul and Barnabas] will now begin proclaiming it to the [unconverted] Gentiles. ⁴⁷ For the Lord commanded us to do this by saying, 'I have appointed you to be a light to the [unconverted] Gentiles, so that you should be [the occasion] for [bringing] salvation to the farthest corner of the earth.' " ⁴⁸ And when the Gentiles heard this they were glad and gave honor to the message of God [i.e., they accepted it as true]. And all those who were appointed [by God] to receive never ending life [through faith and obedience] became believers.
