1 Timothy 2:7

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

For this reason I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a faithful and true teacher of the Gentiles. I am telling the truth; I am not lying about anything.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth in Christ, not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

Strong's King James
(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.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
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.
Young's Literal Translation
