Romans 15:18-24
Christian Standard Bible

18 For I would not dare say anything except what Christ has accomplished through me(A) by word and deed for the obedience of the Gentiles, 19 by the power of miraculous signs and wonders,(B) and by the power of God’s Spirit. As a result, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ from Jerusalem(C) all the way around to Illyricum.[a](D) 20 My aim is to preach the gospel where Christ has not been named,(E) so that I will not build on someone else’s foundation,(F) 21 but, as it is written,

Those who were not told about him will see,
and those who have not heard will understand.[b](G)

Paul’s Travel Plans

22 That is why I have been prevented many times from coming to you.(H) 23 But now I no longer have any work to do in these regions,[c] and I have strongly desired for many years to come to you(I) 24 whenever I travel to Spain.[d] For I hope to see you when I pass through and to be assisted by you for my journey there,(J) once I have first enjoyed your company(K) for a while.

Romans 15:18-24
New International Version

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

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

22 This is why I have often been hindered from coming to you.(J)

Paul’s Plan to Visit Rome
