Romans 15:17-21
New International Version
17 Therefore I glory in Christ Jesus(A) in my service to God.(B) 18 I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles(C) to obey God(D) by what I have said and done— 19 by the power of signs and wonders,(E) through the power of the Spirit of God.(F) So from Jerusalem(G) all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.(H) 20 It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel(I) where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation.(J) 21 Rather, as it is written:

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.”
