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

¹⁴ I myself am full certified of you, my brethren, that ye yourselves are full of goodness, and filled with all knowledge, and are able to exhort one another. ¹⁵ Nevertheless, brethren, I have somewhat boldly written unto you, as one that putteth you in remembrance, through the grace that is given me of God ¹⁶ for this purpose: that I should be the minister of Jesus Christ among the gentiles, and should minister the glad tidings of God, that the gentiles might be an acceptable offering, sanctified by the holy ghost. ¹⁷ I have, therefore, whereof I may rejoice in Christ Jesus, in those things which pertain to God. ¹⁸ For I dare not speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the gentiles obedient, with word and deed, ¹⁹ in mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the spirit of God: so that from Jerusalem and the coasts round about, unto Illyricum, I have filled all countries with glad tidings of Christ. ²⁰ So have I enforced myself to preach the gospel: not where Christ was named, lest I should have built on another man's foundation, ²¹ but as it is written, "To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that heard not, shall understand."
