Romans 15:20-22

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁰ Thus my ambition has been to preach the Gospel, not where Christ’s name has already been known, lest I build on another man’s foundation;

²¹ But [instead I would act on the principle] as it is written, They shall see who have never been told of Him, and they shall understand who have never heard [of Him].^(A)

²² This [ambition] is the reason why I have so frequently been hindered from coming to visit you.
