Romans 15:14-21 - Paul's Ministry To The Gentiles

¹⁴ And I myself am persuaded concerning you, my brethren, that you yourselves are full of all goodness, having been filled with all knowledge, able also to instruct one another. ¹⁵ Yet I have written to you more boldly in part, my brethren, as if I would put you in remembrance, on account of the grace which is given to me by God, ¹⁶ that I may be the public servant of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, officiating as a priest with respect to the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles may be acceptable, having been sanctified by the Holy Spirit. ¹⁷ I have, therefore, cause to glory in Christ Jesus in things that pertain to God. ¹⁸ For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ has not accomplished through me, by word and deed, in order to make the Gentiles obedient, ¹⁹ by the power of signs and wonders by the power of the Holy Spirit. So that from Jerusalem, and round about as far as Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of the Christ; ²⁰ so earnestly desirous have I been to preach the gospel, not where Christ had been named, lest I should build on another man's foundation; ²¹ but, as it is written: They to whom he was not preached, shall see; and they who have not heard, shall understand.
