14 And concerning you, my brethren, I myself also am convinced that you yourselves are full of agoodness, filled with ball knowledge and able also to admonish one another.

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

16 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, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

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

18 For I will not presume to speak of anything 1except what aChrist has accomplished through me, 2resulting in the obedience of the Gentiles by word and deed,

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

20 And thus I aspired to apreach the gospel, not where Christ was already named, bso that I would not build on another man’s foundation;

21 but as it is written,

“aThey who had no news of Him shall see,

And they who have not heard shall understand.”
