Romans 15:18-26

18For I will not dare to speak anything of the things which Christ has not wrought by me, for [the] obedience of [the] nations, by word and deed,

19in [the] power of signs and wonders, in [the] power of [the] Spirit of 1God; so that I, from Jerusalem, and in a circuit round to Illyricum, have fully preached the glad tidings of the Christ;

20and so aiming to announce the glad tidings, not where Christ has been named, that I might not build upon another's foundation;

21but according as it is written, To whom there was nothing told concerning him, they shall see; and they that have not heard shall understand.

22Wherefore also I have been often hindered from coming to you.

23But now, having no longer place in these regions, and having great desire to come to you these many years,

24whenever I should go to Spain; (for I hope to see you as I go through, and by you to be set forward thither, if first I shall have been in part filled with your company;)

25but now I go to Jerusalem, ministering to the saints;

26for Macedonia and Achaia have been well pleased to make a certain contribution for the poor of the saints who [are] in Jerusalem.
