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.”

New King James Version
17 Therefore I have reason to glory in Christ Jesus (A)in the things which pertain to God. 18 For I will not dare to speak of any of those things (B)which Christ has not accomplished through me, in word and deed, (C)to make the Gentiles obedient— 19 (D)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, (E)lest I should build on another man’s foundation, 21 but as it is written:
(F)“To whom He was not announced, they shall see;
And those who have not heard shall understand.”
