Romans 15:17-21
Legacy Standard Bible
17 Therefore in Christ Jesus I have (A)reason for boasting in (B)things pertaining to God. 18 For I will not be bold to speak of anything [a]except what (C)Christ has brought about through me, [b]leading to the obedience of the Gentiles by word and deed, 19 in the power of [c](D)signs and wonders, (E)in the power of the Spirit; so that (F)from Jerusalem and all around as (G)far as Illyricum I have [d]fully preached the gospel of Christ. 20 And in this way I make it my ambition to (H)proclaim the gospel, not where Christ was already named, (I)so that I would not build on another man’s foundation; 21 but as it is written,
“(J)They who had no declaration of Him shall see,
And they who have not heard shall understand.”

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.
