Romans:15:14-22
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now I myself am confident concerning you ,
my brethren ,
that you also are full of goodness ,
filled with all knowledge ,
able also to admonish one another .
*
Nevertheless ,
brethren ,
I have written more boldly to you on some points ,
as reminding you ,
because of the grace given to me by God ,
*
that I might be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles ,
ministering the gospel of God ,
that the offering of the Gentiles might be acceptable ,
sanctified by the Holy Spirit .
*
Therefore I have reason to glory in Christ Jesus in the things which pertain to God .
*
For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ has not accomplished through me ,
in word and deed ,
to make the Gentiles obedient --
*
in mighty signs and wonders ,
by the power of the Spirit of God ,
so that from Jerusalem and round about to Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ .
*
And so I have made it my aim to preach the gospel ,
not where Christ was named ,
lest I should build on another man '
s foundation ,
*
but as it is written : "
To whom He was not announced ,
they shall see ;
And those who have not heard shall understand ."
*
For this reason I also have been much hindered from coming to you .
