Romans 15:19-24

19by the power of miraculous and amazing signs, and by the power of God’s Spirit, I have finished spreading the Good News about Christ from Jerusalem to Illyricum.

20My goal was to spread the Good News where the name of Christ was not known. I didn’t want to build on a foundation which others had laid.

21As Scripture says, “Those who were never told about him will see, and those who never heard will understand.”

22This is what has so often kept me from visiting you.

23But now I have no new opportunities for work in this region. For many years I have wanted to visit you.

24Now I am on my way to Spain, so I hope to see you when I come your way. After I have enjoyed your company for a while, I hope that you will support my trip to Spain.
