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
International Standard Version
17 Therefore, in the Messiah[a] Jesus I have the right to boast about my work for God. 18 For I am bold enough to tell you only about what the Messiah[b] has accomplished through me in bringing gentiles to obedience. By my words and actions, 19 by the power of signs and wonders, and by the power of God’s Spirit,[c] I have fully proclaimed the gospel of the Messiah[d] from Jerusalem as far as Illyricum. 20 My one ambition is to proclaim the gospel where the name of the Messiah[e] is not known, so I don’t[f] build on someone else’s foundation. 21 Rather, as it is written,
“Those who were never told about him will see,
and those who have never heard will understand.”[g]
