Romans 15:14–33

¹⁴And ^bI myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of ^cgoodness, filled with all ^dknowledge, able also to admonish one another. ¹⁵Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you ^ein some sort, ^bas putting you in mind, ^fbecause of the grace that is given to me of God, ¹⁶That ^gI should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the ^||hoffering up of the Gentiles might be ⁱacceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost. ¹⁷I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ ^kin those things which pertain to God. ¹⁸For I will not dare to speak of any of those things ^lwhich Christ hath not wrought by me, ^mto make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed, ¹⁹Through ⁿmighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ. ²⁰Yea, so have I ^ostrived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, ^plest I should build upon another man’s foundation: ²¹But as it is written, ^qTo whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand. ²²For which cause also I have been ^||much ^rhindered from coming to you. ²³But now having no more place in these ^sparts, and ^thaving a great desire these many years to come unto you; ²⁴Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and ^uto be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be ^esomewhat filled ^†with your company. ²⁵But now I ^xgo unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints. ²⁶For it hath pleased them of ^yzMacedonia and ^yaAchaia ^bto make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem. ²⁷It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For ^cif the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, ^dtheir duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things. ²⁸When therefore I have performed this, and have ^esealed to them this ^ffruit, I will come by you into Spain. ²⁹And I am sure that, ^gwhen I come unto you, I shall come in the ^hfulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ. ³⁰Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye ⁱstrive together with me in your prayers to God for me; ^31kThat I may be delivered from them that ^||do not believe in Judaea; and that my ^lservice which I have for Jerusalem may be ^llaccepted of the saints; ³²That I may come unto you with joy ^mby the will of God, and may with you be ⁿrefreshed. ³³Now ^othe God of peace be with you all. Amen.
