Context of Romans 15:19
17I have therefore [whereof to] boast in Christ Jesus in the things which pertain to God. 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, in [the] power of signs and wonders, in [the] power of [the] Spirit of God; 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.
