Romans 15:14-33
New King James Version
From Jerusalem to Illyricum
14 Now (A)I myself am confident concerning you, my brethren, that you also are full of goodness, (B)filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish [a]one another. 15 Nevertheless, brethren, I have written more boldly to you on some points, as reminding you, (C)because of the grace given to me by God, 16 that (D)I might be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the (E)offering [b]of the Gentiles might be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. 17 Therefore I have reason to glory in Christ Jesus (F)in the things which pertain to God. 18 For I will not dare to speak of any of those things (G)which Christ has not accomplished through me, in word and deed, (H)to make the Gentiles obedient— 19 (I)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. 20 And so I have made it my aim to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, (J)lest I should build on another man’s foundation, 21 but as it is written:
(K)“To whom He was not announced, they shall see;
And those who have not heard shall understand.”
Plan to Visit Rome
22 For this reason (L)I also have been much hindered from coming to you. 23 But now no longer having a place in these parts, and (M)having a great desire these many years to come to you, 24 whenever I journey to Spain, [c]I shall come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, (N)and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may (O)enjoy your company for a while. 25 But now (P)I am going to Jerusalem to [d]minister to the saints. 26 For (Q)it pleased those from Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are in Jerusalem. 27 It pleased them indeed, and they are their debtors. For (R)if the Gentiles have been partakers of their spiritual things, (S)their duty is also to minister to them in material things. 28 Therefore, when I have performed this and have sealed to them (T)this fruit, I shall go by way of you to Spain. 29 (U)But I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing [e]of the gospel of Christ.
30 Now I beg you, brethren, through the Lord Jesus Christ, and (V)through the love of the Spirit, (W)that you strive together with me in prayers to God for me, 31 (X)that I may be delivered from those in Judea who [f]do not believe, and that (Y)my service for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints, 32 (Z)that I may come to you with joy (AA)by the will of God, and may (AB)be refreshed together with you. 33 Now (AC)the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

Psalm 99-101
New King James Version
Praise to the Lord for His Holiness
99 The Lord reigns;
Let the peoples tremble!
(A)He dwells between the cherubim;
Let the earth be [a]moved!
2 The Lord is great in Zion,
And He is high above all the peoples.
3 Let them praise Your great and awesome name—
[b]He is holy.
4 The King’s strength also loves justice;
You have established equity;
You have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.
5 Exalt the Lord our God,
And worship at His footstool—
He is holy.
6 Moses and Aaron were among His priests,
And Samuel was among those who (B)called upon His name;
They called upon the Lord, and He answered them.
7 He spoke to them in the cloudy pillar;
They kept His testimonies and the [c]ordinance He gave them.
8 You answered them, O Lord our God;
You were to them God-Who-Forgives,
Though You took vengeance on their deeds.
9 Exalt the Lord our God,
And worship at His holy hill;
For the Lord our God is holy.
A Song of Praise for the Lord’s Faithfulness to His People
(C)A Psalm of Thanksgiving.
100 Make (D)a joyful shout to the Lord, [d]all you lands!
2 Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
3 Know that the Lord, He is God;
(E)It is He who has made us, and [e]not we ourselves;
(F)We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
4 (G)Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
5 For the Lord is good;
(H)His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.
Promised Faithfulness to the Lord
A Psalm of David.
101 I will sing of mercy and justice;
To You, O Lord, I will sing praises.
2 I will behave wisely in a [f]perfect way.
Oh, when will You come to me?
I will (I)walk within my house with a perfect heart.
3 I will set nothing [g]wicked before my eyes;
(J)I hate the work of those (K)who fall away;
It shall not cling to me.
4 A perverse heart shall depart from me;
I will not (L)know wickedness.
5 Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor,
Him I will destroy;
(M)The one who has a haughty look and a proud heart,
Him I will not endure.
6 My eyes shall be on the faithful of the land,
That they may dwell with me;
He who walks in a [h]perfect way,
He shall serve me.
7 He who works deceit shall not dwell within my house;
He who tells lies shall not [i]continue in my presence.
8 (N)Early I will destroy all the wicked of the land,
That I may cut off all the evildoers (O)from the city of the Lord.
