Romans 15:14-21 - Paul's Ministry To The Gentiles
14 For my part, as far as you are concerned, my brothers, I am convinced that you are already full of goodness of heart, endowed with perfect knowledge, and well qualified to instruct one another. 15 But, just to refresh your memories, I have written you pretty boldly on some points, because of the favor God has shown me 16 in making me a minister of Christ Jesus among the heathen, to act as a priest of God's good news, to see that the heathen are an acceptable sacrifice, consecrated by the holy Spirit. 17 So as a follower of Christ Jesus I have reason to be proud of my work for God. 18 For I will venture to speak only of what Christ has accomplished through me in winning the heathen to obedience, by word and action, 19 by the force of signs and marvels, and by the power of the holy Spirit, with the result that I have completed the preaching of the good news of Christ all the way from Jerusalem around to Illyricum. 20 In all this it has been my ambition to preach the good news only where Christ's name was unknown, so as not to build on foundations other men had laid. 21 As the Scripture says, "They who have never been told of him will see, And they who have never heard will understand!"
