Romans 15:16 - Forerunner Commentary

Romans 15:16

From Jerusalem to Illyricum

14 Now ^aI myself am confident concerning you, my brethren, that you also are full of goodness, ^bfilled with all knowledge, able also to admonish¹ one another.

15 Nevertheless, brethren, I have written more boldly to you on some points, as reminding you, ^abecause of the grace given to me by God,

16 that ^aI might be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the ^boffering of the Gentiles might be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

17 Therefore I have reason to glory in Christ Jesus ^ain the things which pertain to God.

18 For I will not dare to speak of any of those things ^awhich Christ has not accomplished through me, in word and deed, ^bto make the Gentiles obedient—

19 ^ain mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem and round about to Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

20 And so I have made it my aim to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, ^alest I should build on another man’s foundation,

21 but as it is written:
^a“To whom He was not announced, they shall see;
And those who have not heard shall understand.”
