Romans 15:16-33

16to be 1a ministerG3011 of ChristG5547 JesusG2424 to the GentilesG1484, ministeringG2418 as a priestG2418 the 2gospelG2098 of GodG2316, soG2443 that my 3offeringG4376 of the GentilesG1484 may becomeG1096 acceptableG2144, sanctifiedG37 by the HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 17ThereforeG3767 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 I haveG2192 found 4reasonG2746 for boastingG2746 in 5things pertainingG4314 to GodG2316. 18For I will not presumeG5111 to speakG2980 of anythingG5100 6exceptG3756 whatG3739 7ChristG5547 has accomplishedG2716 throughG1223 me, 8resultingG1519 in the obedienceG5218 of the GentilesG1484 by wordG3056 and deedG2041, 19in the powerG1411 of 910signsG4592 and wondersG5059, 11in the powerG1411 of the SpiritG4151; soG5620 that 12from JerusalemG2419 and roundG2945 aboutG2945 as 13farG3360 as IllyricumG2437 I have 14fullyG4137 preachedG4137 the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547. 20And thusG3779 I aspiredG5389 to 15preachG2097 the gospelG2097, not whereG3699 ChristG5547 was already namedG3687, 16soG2443 that I would not buildG3618 on anotherG245 man’sG245 foundationG2310; 21but as it is writtenG1125, “17They whoG3739 hadG312 noG3756 newsG312 of Him shall seeG3708, And they who have not heardG191 shall understandG4920.”

22For thisG1352 reasonG1352 18I have oftenG4183 been preventedG1465 from comingG2064 to you; 23but nowG3570, with noG3371 furtherG3371 placeG5117 for me in theseG3778 regionsG2824, and since I 19have hadG2192 for manyG2425 yearsG2094 a longingG1974 to comeG2064 to you 24wheneverG5613G1437 I 20goG4198 to SpainG4681--for I hopeG1679 to seeG2300 you in passingG1279, and to be 21helpedG4311 on my wayG4311 thereG1563 by you, when I have firstG4413 22enjoyedG1705 your company 23for a whileG3313-- 25but nowG3570, 24I am goingG4198 to JerusalemG2419 25servingG1247 the 26saintsG40. 26For 27MacedoniaG3109 and 28AchaiaG882 have beenG2106 pleasedG2106 to makeG4160 a contributionG2842 for the poorG4434 among the 29saintsG40 in JerusalemG2419. 27YesG1063, they were pleasedG2106 to do so, and they are indebtedG3781 to them. For 30ifG1487 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 31have 32putG4972 my sealG4972 on thisG3778 fruitG2590 of theirsG846, I will 33goG565 on by wayG1223 of you to SpainG4681. 29I knowG3609 that when 34I comeG2064 to you, I will comeG2064 in the fullnessG4138 of the blessingG2129 of ChristG5547.

30NowG1161 I urgeG3870 you, brethrenG80, by our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 and by 35the loveG26 of the SpiritG4151, to 36striveG4865 togetherG4865 with me in your prayersG4335 to GodG2316 for me, 31that I may be 37rescuedG4506 from thoseG3588 who are disobedientG544 in JudeaG2453, and that my 38serviceG1248 for JerusalemG2419 may proveG1096 acceptableG2144 to the 3940saintsG40; 32soG2443 that 41I may comeG2064 to you in joyG5479 by 42the willG2307 of GodG2316 and findG4875 refreshing restG4875 in your company. 33NowG1161 43the GodG2316 of peaceG1515 be with you allG3956. AmenG281.
