Romans 15:14-29
14And concerningG4012 you, my brethrenG80, I myselfG846 alsoG2532 am convincedG3982 that you yourselvesG846 are fullG3324 of 1goodnessG19, filledG4137 with 2allG3956 knowledgeG1108 and ableG1410 alsoG2532 to admonishG3560 oneG240 anotherG240. 15But I have writtenG1125 veryG5112 boldlyG5112 to you on someG3313 pointsG3313 soG5613 as to remindG1878 you againG1878, becauseG1223 of 3the graceG5485 that was givenG1325 me 4from GodG2316, 16to be 5a ministerG3011 of ChristG5547 JesusG2424 to the GentilesG1484, ministeringG2418 as a priestG2418 the 6gospelG2098 of GodG2316, soG2443 that my 7offeringG4376 of the GentilesG1484 may becomeG1096 acceptableG2144, sanctifiedG37 by the HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 17ThereforeG3767 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 I haveG2192 found 8reasonG2746 for boastingG2746 in 9things pertainingG4314 to GodG2316. 18For I will not presumeG5111 to speakG2980 of anythingG5100 10exceptG3756 whatG3739 11ChristG5547 has accomplishedG2716 throughG1223 me, 12resultingG1519 in the obedienceG5218 of the GentilesG1484 by wordG3056 and deedG2041, 19in the powerG1411 of 1314signsG4592 and wondersG5059, 15in the powerG1411 of the SpiritG4151; soG5620 that 16from JerusalemG2419 and roundG2945 aboutG2945 as 17farG3360 as IllyricumG2437 I have 18fullyG4137 preachedG4137 the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547. 20And thusG3779 I aspiredG5389 to 19preachG2097 the gospelG2097, not whereG3699 ChristG5547 was already namedG3687, 20soG2443 that I would not buildG3618 on anotherG245 man’sG245 foundationG2310; 21but as it is writtenG1125, “21They whoG3739 hadG312 noG3756 newsG312 of Him shall seeG3708, And they who have not heardG191 shall understandG4920.”
22For thisG1352 reasonG1352 22I have oftenG4183 been preventedG1465 from comingG2064 to you; 23but nowG3570, with noG3371 furtherG3371 placeG5117 for me in theseG3778 regionsG2824, and since I 23have hadG2192 for manyG2425 yearsG2094 a longingG1974 to comeG2064 to you 24wheneverG5613G1437 I 24goG4198 to SpainG4681--for I hopeG1679 to seeG2300 you in passingG1279, and to be 25helpedG4311 on my wayG4311 thereG1563 by you, when I have firstG4413 26enjoyedG1705 your company 27for a whileG3313-- 25but nowG3570, 28I am goingG4198 to JerusalemG2419 29servingG1247 the 30saintsG40. 26For 31MacedoniaG3109 and 32AchaiaG882 have beenG2106 pleasedG2106 to makeG4160 a contributionG2842 for the poorG4434 among the 33saintsG40 in JerusalemG2419. 27YesG1063, they were pleasedG2106 to do so, and they are indebtedG3781 to them. For 34ifG1487 the GentilesG1484 have sharedG2841 in their spiritualG4152 thingsG4152, they are indebtedG3784 to ministerG3008 to them alsoG2532 in materialG4559 thingsG4559. 28ThereforeG3767, when I have finishedG2005 thisG3778, and 35have 36putG4972 my sealG4972 on thisG3778 fruitG2590 of theirsG846, I will 37goG565 on by wayG1223 of you to SpainG4681. 29I knowG3609 that when 38I comeG2064 to you, I will comeG2064 in the fullnessG4138 of the blessingG2129 of ChristG5547.
