Romans 15:20-24
New International Version
Romans 15:20-24
New International Version
20 It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel(A) where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation.(B) 21 Rather, as it is written:
22 This is why I have often been hindered from coming to you.(D)
Paul’s Plan to Visit Rome
23 But now that there is no more place for me to work in these regions, and since I have been longing for many years to visit you,(E) 24 I plan to do so when I go to Spain.(F) I hope to see you while passing through and to have you assist(G) me on my journey there, after I have enjoyed your company for a while.

Romans 15:20-24
King James Version
20 Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:
21 But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.
22 For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you.
23 But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto you;
24 Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company.
