Rom 15:14-21

Apostle to the Gentiles. 14^* I myself am convinced about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness,^* filled with all knowledge, and able to admonish one another. 15But I have written to you rather boldly in some respects to remind you, because of the grace given me by God^m 16to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in performing the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the offering up of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the holy Spirit.ⁿ 17In Christ Jesus, then, I have reason to boast in what pertains to God. 18For I will not dare to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to lead the Gentiles to obedience by word and deed,^o 19by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit [of God], so that from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum^* I have finished preaching the gospel of Christ. 20Thus I aspire^* to proclaim the gospel not where Christ has already been named, so that I do not build on another’s foundation,^p 21but as it is written:^q

“Those who have never been told of him shall see,

and those who have never heard of him shall understand.”^*
