Romans 15:14-29
14And concerningG4012 you, my brothersG80 and sisters, 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 asG5613 to remindG1878 you againG1878, becauseG1223 of 3the graceG5485 that was givenG1325 to me 4from GodG2316, 16to be 5a ministerG3011 of ChristG5547 JesusG2424 to the GentilesG1484, ministeringG2418 asG2418 aG2418 priestG2418 the 6gospelG2098 of GodG2316, soG2443 thatG2443 my 7offeringG4376 of the GentilesG1484 may becomeG1096 acceptableG2144, sanctifiedG37 by the HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 17ThereforeG3767 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 I haveG2192 found 8reasonG2746 forG2746 boastingG2746 in 9things pertainingG4314 to GodG2316. 1810For I will not presumeG5111 to speakG2980 of anythingG5100 11exceptG3756 whatG3739 12ChristG5547 has accomplishedG2716 throughG1223 me, 13resultingG1519 inG1519 the obedienceG5218 of the GentilesG1484 by wordG3056 and deedG2041, 19in the powerG1411 of 1415signsG4592 and wondersG5059, 16in the powerG1411 of the SpiritG4151; soG5620 thatG5620 17from JerusalemG2419 and allG2945 aroundG2945 as 18farG3360 as IllyricumG2437 I have 19fullyG4137 preachedG4137 the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547. 20And inG3779 thisG3779 wayG3779 I aspiredG5389 to 20preachG2097 the gospelG2097, not whereG3699 ChristG5547 was already knownG3687 byG3687 nameG3687, 21soG2443 thatG2443 I would not buildG3618 on anotherG245 person’sG245 foundationG2310; 21but justG2531 asG2531 it is writtenG1125: “22They whoG3739 have not been toldG312 aboutG4012 Him will seeG3708, And they who have not heardG191 will understandG4920.”
22For thisG1352 reasonG1352 23I have oftenG4183 been preventedG1465 from comingG2064 to you; 23but nowG3570, with noG3371 furtherG3371 placeG5117 for me in theseG3778 regionsG2824, and since I 24have hadG2192 for manyG2425 yearsG2094 a longingG1974 to comeG2064 to you 24wheneverG5613G1437 I 25goG4198 to SpainG4681--for I hopeG1679 to seeG2300 you in passingG1279, and to be 26helpedG4311 onG4311 my wayG4311 thereG1563 by you, when I have firstG4413 27enjoyedG1705 your company 28for a whileG3313-- 25but nowG3570, 29I am goingG4198 to JerusalemG2419, 30servingG1247 the 31saintsG40. 26For 32MacedoniaG3109 and 33AchaiaG882 have beenG2106 pleasedG2106 to makeG4160 a contributionG2842 for the poorG4434 among the 34saintsG40 in JerusalemG2419. 27For they were pleasedG2106 to do so, and they are indebtedG3781 to them. For 35ifG1487 the GentilesG1484 have sharedG2841 in their spiritualG4152 thingsG4152, they are indebtedG3784 to doG3008 them aG3008 serviceG3008 alsoG2532 in materialG4559 thingsG4559. 28ThereforeG3767, when I have finishedG2005 thisG3778, and 36have 37putG4972 my sealG4972 onG4972 thisG3778 fruitG2590 of theirsG846, I will 38goG565 on by wayG1223 of you to SpainG4681. 29I knowG3609 that when 39I comeG2064 to you, I will comeG2064 in the fullnessG4138 of the blessingG2129 of ChristG5547.
