* **that the word of God should first be spoken to you** - "that we speak the word of God to you first". (See: [[:en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_activepassive]])
* **I have placed you as a light** - This quote was taken from the Old Testament where "I" was God and "you" was originally referring to the Messiah Jesus Christ. Paul expressed how this quote also applies to himself and Barnabas in that they are to share the word of God to the Gentiles as well.
