Romans 15:18-22

18For I will not venture to speak of anything except awhat Christ has accomplished through me bto bring the Gentiles to obedience—by word and deed, 19 cby the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God—so that dfrom Jerusalem and all the way around eto Illyricum I have fulfilled the ministry of the gospel of Christ; 20and thus I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, flest I build on someone else’s foundation, 21but as it is written,

g“Those who have never been told of him will see,
and those who have never heard will understand.”

Paul’s Plan to Visit Rome

22This is the reason why hI have so often been hindered from coming to you.
