Romans 15:17-21
New American Standard Bible
17 Therefore in Christ Jesus I have found (A)reason for boasting in (B)things pertaining to God. 18 (C)For I will not presume to speak of anything [a]except what (D)Christ has accomplished through me, [b]resulting in the obedience of the Gentiles by word and deed, 19 in the power of [c](E)signs and wonders, (F)in the power of the Spirit; so that (G)from Jerusalem and all around as (H)far as Illyricum I have [d]fully preached the gospel of Christ. 20 And in this way I aspired to (I)preach the gospel, not where Christ was already known by name, (J)so that I would not build on another person’s foundation; 21 but just as it is written:
“(K)They who have not been told about Him will see,
And they who have not heard will understand.”

Romans 15:17-21
Lexham English Bible
17 Therefore I have a reason for boasting in Christ Jesus regarding the things concerning God. 18 For I will not dare to speak about anything except that which Christ has accomplished through me, resulting in the obedience of the Gentiles by word and deed, 19 by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit,[a] so that from Jerusalem and traveling around as far as Illyricum I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ. 20 And so, having as my ambition to proclaim the gospel where Christ has not been named, in order that I will not build on the foundation belonging to someone else, 21 but just as it is written,
“Those to whom it was not announced concerning him will see,
and those who have not heard will understand.”[b]
