¹⁴My brothers, I myself am convinced about you that you also are full of goodness, ^qfilled with all knowledge, ^rand able to instruct one another. ¹⁵Nevertheless, I have written to remind you more boldly on some points ^sbecause of the grace given me by God ^t¹⁶to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, ^userving as a priest of God’s good news. ^vMy purpose is that the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, ^wsanctified by the Holy Spirit. ¹⁷Therefore I have reason to boast in Christ Jesus ^xregarding what pertains to God. ^y¹⁸For I would not dare say anything except what Christ has accomplished through me ^zto make the Gentiles obedient by word and deed, ¹⁹by the power of miraculous signs and wonders, ^aand by the power of God’s Spirit. As a result, I have fully proclaimed the good news about the Messiah from Jerusalem ^ball the way around to Illyricum. ^c^d²⁰My aim is to evangelize where Christ has not been named, ^eso that I will not build on someone else’s foundation, ^f²¹but, as it is written:

Those who were not told about Him will see,

and those who have not heard will understand. ^g^h
