Romans 15:14–21

Paul’s Ministry Plans

¹⁴But I myself am also convinced about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of ^agoodness, having been filled with ^ball knowledge and being able also to admonish one another.

¹⁵But I have written very boldly to you on some points so as to remind you again, because of ^athe grace that was given me ¹by God

¹⁶for me to be ^aa minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, ministering as a priest the ^bgospel of God, so that my ^coffering of the Gentiles may become acceptable, having been sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

¹⁷Therefore in Christ Jesus I have ^areason for boasting in ^bthings pertaining to God.

¹⁸For I will not be bold to speak of anything ¹except what ^aChrist has brought about through me, ²leading to the obedience of the Gentiles by word and deed,

¹⁹in the power of ^1asigns and wonders, ^bin the power of the Spirit; so that ^cfrom Jerusalem and all around as ^dfar as Illyricum I have ²fully preached the gospel of Christ.

²⁰And in this way I make it my ambition to ^aproclaim the gospel, not where Christ was already named, ^bso that I would not build on another man’s foundation;

²¹but as it is written,

“^aThey who had no declaration of Him shall see,

And they who have not heard shall understand.”
