Romans 15:14-33

¹⁴And, brethren, I myself am certain of you, that also ye be full of love, and ye be full-filled with all knowing or all science, so that ye may admonish each other.

¹⁵And, brethren, more boldly I wrote to you a part, as bringing you into mind, for the grace that is given to me of God,

¹⁶that I be the minister of Christ Jesus among heathen men. And I hallow the gospel of God, that the offering of heathen men be accepted or be made acceptable, and hallowed in the Holy Ghost.

¹⁷Therefore I have glory in Christ Jesus to God.

¹⁸For I dare not speak anything of those things, which Christ doeth not by me, into obedience of heathen men, in word and deeds,

¹⁹in virtue of tokens and great wonders, in virtue of the Holy Ghost, so that from Jerusalem by compass to the Illyricum sea or till unto Illyricum, I have full-filled the gospel of Christ.

²⁰And so I have preached this gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I build upon another’s ground,

²¹but as it is written, For to whom it is not told of him, they shall see, and they that heard not, shall understand.

²²For which thing I was hindered full much to come to you, and I am hindered till to this time.

²³And now I have not further place, or cause of longer dwelling, in these countries, but I have desire to come to you, of many years that now be passed.

²⁴When I begin to pass into Spain, I hope that in my going I shall see you, and of you I shall be led thither, if I shall use you first in part.

²⁵Therefore now I shall pass forth to Jerusalem, to minister to saints.

²⁶For Macedonia and Achaia have assayed to make some gift, or some collection, or gathering of money, to poor men of saints, that be in Jerusalem.

²⁷For it pleased to them, and they be debtors of them; for if heathen men be made partners of their ghostly things, they owe also in fleshly things to minister to them.

²⁸Therefore when I have ended this thing, and have assigned to them this fruit, I shall pass by you into Spain.

²⁹And I know, that I coming to you, shall come in the abundance, or plenty, of the blessing of Christ.

³⁰Therefore, brethren, I beseech you by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the charity of the Holy Ghost, that ye help me in your prayers for me to the Lord,

³¹that I be delivered from the unfaithful men, that be in Judea, and that the offering of my service be accepted in Jerusalem to saints;

³²that I come to you in joy, by the will of God, and that I be refreshed with you.

³³And God of peace be with you all. Amen.
