Romans:15:14-22
Seeker Overlay ON
*
But I am persuaded ,
my brethren ,
I myself also ,
concerning you ,
that yourselves also are full of goodness ,
filled with all knowledge ,
able also to admonish one another .
*
But I have written to you the more boldly , [
brethren ,]
in part ,
as putting you in mind ,
because of the grace given to me by God ,
*
for me to be minister of Christ Jesus to the nations ,
carrying on as a sacrificial service the [
message of ]
glad tidings of God ,
in order that the offering up of the nations might be acceptable ,
sanctified by [
the ]
Holy Spirit .
*
I have therefore [
whereof to ]
boast in Christ Jesus in the things which pertain to God .
*
For I will not dare to speak anything of the things which Christ has not wrought by me ,
for [
the ]
obedience of [
the ]
nations ,
by word and deed ,
*
in [
the ]
power of signs and wonders ,
in [
the ]
power of [
the ]
Spirit of God ;
so that I ,
from Jerusalem ,
and in a circuit round to Illyricum ,
have fully preached the glad tidings of the Christ ;
*
and so aiming to announce the glad tidings ,
not where Christ has been named ,
that I might not build upon another '
s foundation ;
*
but according as it is written ,
To whom there was nothing told concerning him ,
they shall see ;
and they that have not heard shall understand .
*
Wherefore also I have been often hindered from coming to you .
