Romans 15:18
Compare all
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.”  

Plan to Visit Rome

22 For this reason aI also have been much hindered from coming to you.  
23 But now no longer having a place in these parts, and ahaving a great desire these many years to come to you,  
24 whenever I journey to Spain,1 I shall come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, aand to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may benjoy your company for a while.

Romans 15:18-22

For I will not dare to speak of any—"to speak aught"

of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me—a modest, though somewhat obscure form of expression, meaning, "I will not dare to go beyond what Christ hath wrought by me"—in which form accordingly the rest of the passage is expressed. Observe here how Paul ascribes all the success of his labors to the activity of the living Redeemer, working in and by him.

by word and deed—by preaching and working; which latter he explains in the next clause.
