Romans 15:19-24

19in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem and around even to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the Good News of Messiah.

20In this way I make it my aim to proclaim the Good News not where Messiah was already named, lest I build on another person’s foundation,

21but as it is written, “Those who have never been told shall see, and those who have not heard shall understand.”

22For this reason I was often hindered from coming to you.

23But now with no place in these regions, and since I have had a desire for many years to come to you,

24I hope to see you while traveling through when I go to Spain—and to be helped on my journey there by you, if first I may enjoy your company for a bit.
