Romans 15:17-21
American Standard Version
17 I have therefore my glorying in Christ Jesus in things pertaining to God. 18 For I will not dare to speak of any [a]things save those which Christ wrought through me, for the obedience of the [b]Gentiles, by word and deed, 19 in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of [c]the Holy Spirit; so that from Jerusalem, and round about even unto Illyricum, I have [d]fully preached the [e]gospel of Christ; 20 yea, [f]making it my aim so to [g]preach the gospel, not where Christ was already named, that I might not build upon another man’s foundation; 21 but, as it is written,
[h]They shall see, to whom no tidings of him came,
And they who have not heard shall understand.
