¹⁵I have written to you very boldly about some things. I wanted you to think about them again. The grace of God has allowed me ¹⁶to serve Christ Jesus among those who aren’t Jews. My duty as a priest is to preach God’s good news. Then the non-Jews will become an offering that pleases God. The Holy Spirit will make the offering holy.

¹⁷Because I belong to Christ Jesus, I can take pride in my work for God. ¹⁸I will not try to speak of anything except what Christ has done through me. He has been leading those who aren’t Jews to obey God. He has been doing this by what I have said and done.

¹⁹He has given me power to do signs and miracles. He has given me the power of the Holy Spirit.

From Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum I have finished preaching the good news about Christ. ²⁰I have always wanted to preach the good news where Christ was not known. I don’t want to build on what someone else has started. ²¹It is written,

“Those who were not told about him will understand.

Those who have not heard will know what it all means.”
