Romans 15:17-21

17Therefore in Christ Jesus I have found 1reason for boasting in 2things pertaining to God. 18For I will not presume to speak of anything 3except what 4Christ has accomplished through me, 5resulting in the obedience of the Gentiles by word and deed, 19in the power of 6 7signs and wonders, 8in the power of the Spirit; so that 9from Jerusalem and round about as 10far as Illyricum I have 11fully preached the gospel of Christ. 20And thus I aspired to 12preach the gospel, not where Christ was already named, 13so that I would not build on another man’s foundation; 21but as it is written, “14They who had no news of Him shall see, And they who have not heard shall understand.”
