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

¹⁴ And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and able to admonish one another. ¹⁵ But I have written to you, my brethren, in part, with greater freedom, as refreshing your memory through the grace which is given to me of God; ¹⁶ that I should be the minister of Jesus Christ unto the Gentiles, ministering the Gospel of God; that the oblation of the Gentiles might be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Ghost. ¹⁷ I have therefore cause to glory in Christ Jesus with regard to the things of God. ¹⁸ For I will not dare to say any thing of those things which Christ hath not wrought by my ministry, to engage the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed, ¹⁹ by the power of signs and miracles, by the might of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and in a circle quite round unto Illyricum, I have fully spread the gospel of Christ. ²⁰ But I have in such manner endeavoured to preach the gospel, not where Christ's name had been heard, lest I should build upon another man's foundation: ²¹ but as it is written, "To whom the tidings concerning him have not reached, they shall see, and they who have not heard, shall understand."
