Romans 15:14-21 - Paul's Ministry To The Gentiles
14 I am also persuaded about you, my brothers, that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another. 15 Nevertheless, brothers, I have written more boldly to you on some points, keeping you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me from God, 16 That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the nations, ministering the good news of God, that the offering of these nations might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. 17 I glory in Jesus Christ in my service to God. 18 I will not dare to speak of any of those things that Christ has not accomplished through me. I will lead the nations to obey God in word and deed. 19 Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God. From Jerusalem, and round about Illyricum, I have fully preached the good news of Christ. 20 I have strived to preach the good news, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation: 21 It is written, To whom he was not announced, they shall see: and those who have not heard shall understand. (Isaiah 52:15)
