¹⁴ But I myself am fully convinced about you, my brothers and sisters, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and able to instruct one another. ¹⁵ But I have written more boldly to you on some points so as to remind you, because of the grace given to me by God ¹⁶ to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles. I serve the gospel of God like a priest, so that the Gentiles may become an acceptable offering, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. ¹⁷ So I boast in Christ Jesus about the things that pertain to God. ¹⁸ For I will not dare to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in order to bring about the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed, ¹⁹ in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem even as far as Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ. ²⁰ And in this way I desire to preach where Christ has not been named, so as not to build on another person's foundation, ²¹ but as it is written: "Those who were not told about him will see, and those who have not heard will understand." ²² This is the reason I was often hindered from coming to you. ²³ But now there is nothing more to keep me in these regions, and I have for many years desired to come to you ²⁴ when I go to Spain. For I hope to visit you when I pass through and that you will help me on my journey there, after I have enjoyed your company for a while. ²⁵ But now I go to Jerusalem to minister to the saints. ²⁶ For Macedonia and Achaia are pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem. ²⁷ For they were pleased to do this, and indeed they are indebted to the Jerusalem saints. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they are obligated also to minister to them in material things. ²⁸ Therefore after I have completed this and have safely delivered this bounty to them, I will set out for Spain by way of you, ²⁹ and I know that when I come to you I will come in the fullness of Christ's blessing. ³⁰ Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, through our Lord Jesus Christ and through the love of the Spirit, to join fervently with me in prayer to God on my behalf. ³¹ Pray that I may be rescued from those who are disobedient in Judea and that my ministry in Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints, ³² so that by God's will I may come to you with joy and be refreshed in your company. ³³ Now may the God of peace be with all of you. Amen.
