Romans 15:20-24

20 and thus I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, ^alest I build on someone else’s foundation, 21 but as it is written,

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

Paul’s Plan to Visit Rome

22 This is the reason why ^cI have so often been hindered from coming to you. 23 But now, since I no longer have any room for work in these regions, and ^dsince I have longed for many years to come to you, 24 I hope to see you in passing as I go ^eto Spain, and ^fto be helped on my journey there by you, once I have enjoyed your company for a while.

2 Corinthians 10:16

16 so that we may preach the gospel in lands beyond you, without boasting of work already done in another’s area of influence.
