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.”

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.”
