Romans 15:14-21
New American Standard Bible
14 And concerning you, my brothers and sisters, I myself also am convinced that you yourselves are full of (A)goodness, filled with (B)all 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 (C)the grace that was given to me [a]from God, 16 to be (D)a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, ministering as a priest the (E)gospel of God, so that my (F)offering of the Gentiles may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. 17 Therefore in Christ Jesus I have found (G)reason for boasting in (H)things pertaining to God. 18 (I)For I will not presume to speak of anything [b]except what (J)Christ has accomplished through me, [c]resulting in the obedience of the Gentiles by word and deed, 19 in the power of [d](K)signs and wonders, (L)in the power of the Spirit; so that (M)from Jerusalem and all around as (N)far as Illyricum I have [e]fully preached the gospel of Christ. 20 And in this way I aspired to (O)preach the gospel, not where Christ was already known by name, (P)so that I would not build on another person’s foundation; 21 but just as it is written:
“(Q)They who have not been told about Him will see,
And they who have not heard will understand.”
