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:

“Those who were not told about him will see,
    and those who have not heard will understand.”[a](K)

Romans 15:17-21
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

17 In Christ Jesus, then, I have reason to boast of my work for God. 18 For I will not be so bold as to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to win obedience from 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 as far around as Illyricum I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.(A) 20 Thus I make it my ambition to proclaim the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, so that I do not build on someone else’s foundation,(B) 21 but as it is written,

“Those who have never been told of him shall see,
    and those who have never heard of him shall understand.”(C)
