Romans 15:14-21 - Paul's Ministry To The Gentiles
14 And I am persuaded, my brothers, even I myself, concerning you, that you are full of kindness, filled with all knowledge, and able to admonish one another; 15 but I have written more boldly to you in part, to refresh your minds on account of the grace given me by God 16 that I should be a servant of Christ Jesus to the nations, administering as a priest the gospel of God, that the offering of the nations may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. 17 I have therefore cause of boasting in Christ Jesus in respect to things relating to God; 18 for I dare not to speak of what Christ has not performed by me for the obedience of the nations, by word and work, 19 by the power of miracles and prodigies, by the power of the Spirit, so that from Jerusalem and around as far as Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ. 20 And I have been anxious so to preach where Christ was not named, that I might not build on another's foundation; 21 but as it is written, They shall see to whom nothing was told concerning him, and they who have not heard shall understand.
