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

¹⁴ And I also myself am persuaded about you, my brothers, that ye yourselves are also full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish others. ¹⁵ But I wrote more boldly to you, brothers, in part, as reminding you because of the grace that was given to me by God, ¹⁶ for me to be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, serving the good-news of God like a priest, so that the offering up of the Gentiles might become acceptable, being sanctified in Holy Spirit. ¹⁷ I have therefore a boast in Christ Jesus in things toward God. ¹⁸ For I will not dare to speak anything of which Christ did not accomplish through me for the obedience of Gentiles, by word and work, ¹⁹ in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of a spirit of God, so that for me, from Jerusalem and all around as far as Illyricum, to fully preach the good-news of Christ. ²⁰ And thus having aspired to proclaim the good-news not where Christ was already named, so that I would not build upon a foundation belonging to another man, ²¹ but, as it is written, They will see to whom it was not reported about him, and they will understand who have not heard.
