Paul's Service to the Gentiles and Missionary Ambition

Romans 15:14-22

15
Chapter 15
14 But I myself am also persuaded, my brothers, concerning you, that you yourselves are also full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and able also to admonish one another. 15 However, I wrote to you more boldly in part, as reminding you, because of the grace given to me by God. 16 for the purpose of being with me a minister of Christ Jesus to the nations, priestly-ministering the gospel of God, so that the offering of the nations might become acceptable, sanctified in the Holy Spirit. 17 I therefore have the boasting in Christ Jesus in the things toward God. 18 For I will not dare to say anything except what Christ accomplished through me, unto obedience of the nations, by word and work, 19 in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit, so that I have fully preached the gospel of Christ from Jerusalem and around as far as Illyricum. 20 but aspiring in this way to proclaim the gospel not where Christ was named, so that I might not build upon another's foundation, 21 but as it is written: Those to whom it was not announced about him will see, and those who have not heard will understand. 22 Therefore I was hindered many times from coming to you.
