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."
