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

¹⁴ And I myself am indeed persuaded concerning you, my brethren, that ye are full of goodness, being filled with all knowledge, and able to admonish one another. ¹⁵ However, I have written to you, brethren, somewhat the more freely, in reminding you of your duty; because of the favor bestowed upon me by God, ¹⁶ that I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, administring the gospel of God, that the offering of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the holy Spirit. ¹⁷ I have therefore matter of glorying in Christ Jesus, as to the things of God. ¹⁸ For I shall not go about to speak of any thing, but what Christ hath wrought by me, (to gain the obedience of the Gentiles,) both in word and deed: ¹⁹ through the efficacy of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round as far as to Illyricum, I have fully declared the gospel of Christ: ²⁰ being studious however so to preach the gospel, not where Christ had been named, least I should build upon another man's foundation; ²¹ but as it is written, They, to whom nothing was said concerning Him, shall see, and they who have not heard, shall understand.
