Romans 15:14-33

Romans 15:14-33

[14] And  myself  also  am persuaded  of  brethren,  that  ye  also  full  of goodness,  filled  with all  knowledge,  able  also  to admonish  one another.  [15] Nevertheless,  I have written  the more boldly  in  some sort,  as  in mind,  because  of the grace  that is given  of  God,  [16] should be  the minister  of Jesus  Christ  to  the Gentiles,  ministering  the gospel  of God,  that  the offering up  of the Gentiles  might be  acceptable,  being sanctified  by  the Holy  Ghost.  [17] I have  therefore whereof  I may glory  through  Jesus  Christ  in those things which pertain to  God.  [18] For  not  dare  to speak  of any  of those things which  Christ  not  wrought  by  to make  the Gentiles  obedient,  by word  and  deed,  [19] Through  mighty  signs  and  wonders,  by  the power  of the Spirit  of God;  so  that from  Jerusalem,  and  round about  unto  Illyricum,  have fully preached  the gospel  of Christ.  [20] Yea,  so  have I strived  to preach the gospel,  not  where  Christ  was named,  I should build  upon  another man's  foundation:  [21] But  as  it is written,  To whom  he  not  spoken  of,  and  they  not  heard  shall understand.  [22] For which cause  also  much  hindered  from coming  to  [23] But  now  having  no more  place  in  these  parts,  and  having  a great desire  years  to come  unto  [24] Whensoever  I take my journey  into  Spain,  for  I trust  to see  in my journey,  and  to be brought on my way  thitherward  by  if  first  somewhat  filled  with  [25] But  now  I go  unto  Jerusalem  to minister  unto the saints.  [26] For  it hath pleased them  of Macedonia  and  Achaia  to make  a certain  contribution  for  the poor  saints  which  are at  Jerusalem.  [27] It hath pleased them  verily;  and  their  debtors  For  if  the Gentiles  have been made partakers  of their  spiritual things,  their duty is  also  to minister  unto them  in  carnal things.  [28] When therefore  I have performed  and  have sealed  to them  fruit,  I will come  by  into  Spain.  [29] And  I am sure  that,  when I come  unto  I shall come  in  the fulness  of the blessing  of Christ.  [30] Now  I beseech  brethren,  for  the Lord  Jesus  Christ's  and  for  the love  of the Spirit,  that ye strive together  in  your prayers  to  God  for  [31] That  I may be delivered  from  them that do not believe  in  Judaea;  and  that  service  which  I have for  Jerusalem  may be  accepted  of the saints;  [32] That  I may come  unto  with  joy  by  the will  of God,  be refreshed.  [33] Now  the God  of peace  be with  all.  Amen.
