Romans 15:19-24

19by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God—so that from Jerusalem and all the way around to Illyricum I have fulfilled the ministry of the gospel of Christ;

20and thus I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, lest I build on someone else's foundation,

21but as it is written, "Those who have never been told of him will see, and those who have never heard will understand."

22This is the reason why I have so often been hindered from coming to you.

23But now, since I no longer have any room for work in these regions, and since I have longed for many years to come to you,

24I hope to see you in passing as I go to Spain, and to be helped on my journey there by you, once I have enjoyed your company for a while.
