Romans 15:16-33

16to be 1a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, ministering as a priest the 2gospel of God, so that my 3offering of the Gentiles may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. 17Therefore in Christ Jesus I have found 4reason for boasting in 5things pertaining to God. 18For I will not presume to speak of anything 6except what 7Christ has accomplished through me, 8resulting in the obedience of the Gentiles by word and deed, 19in the power of 910signs and wonders, 11in the power of the Spirit; so that 12from Jerusalem and round about as 13far as Illyricum I have 14fully preached the gospel of Christ. 20And thus I aspired to 15preach the gospel, not where Christ was already named, 16so that I would not build on another man’s foundation; 21but as it is written, “17They who had no news of Him shall see, And they who have not heard shall understand.”

22For this reason 18I have often been prevented from coming to you; 23but now, with no further place for me in these regions, and since I 19have had for many years a longing to come to you 24whenever I 20go to Spain--for I hope to see you in passing, and to be 21helped on my way there by you, when I have first 22enjoyed your company 23for a while-- 25but now, 24I am going to Jerusalem 25serving the 26saints. 26For 27Macedonia and 28Achaia have been pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the 29saints in Jerusalem. 27Yes, they were pleased to do so, and they are indebted to them. For 30if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they are indebted to minister to them also in material things. 28Therefore, when I have finished this, and 31have 32put my seal on this fruit of theirs, I will 33go on by way of you to Spain. 29I know that when 34I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.

30Now I urge you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by 35the love of the Spirit, to 36strive together with me in your prayers to God for me, 31that I may be 37rescued from those who are disobedient in Judea, and that my 38service for Jerusalem may prove acceptable to the 3940saints; 32so that 41I may come to you in joy by 42the will of God and find refreshing rest in your company. 33Now 43the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
