Romans 15:19-24

19by the power of miraculous signs and wonders, and by the power of God’s Spirit. As a result, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum.

20My aim is to preach the gospel where Christ has not been named, so that I will not build on someone else’s foundation,

21but, as it is written, Those who were not told about him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.

22That is why I have been prevented many times from coming to you.

23But now I no longer have any work to do in these regions, and I have strongly desired for many years to come to you

24whenever I travel to Spain. For I hope to see you when I pass through and to be assisted by you for my journey there, once I have first enjoyed your company for a while.
