Romans 15:15-17

New Catholic Bible

¹⁵ Nevertheless, I have written to you rather boldly to refresh your memory in some respects because of the grace given to me by God. ¹⁶ He has appointed me to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, in order that the Gentiles might become an acceptable offering consecrated by the Holy Spirit.

¹⁷ In Christ Jesus, then, I have reason to glory in my service of God.
