Romans 15:14-33
Skip Heitzig
| Romans 15 (NKJV™) | |
| 14 | Now I myself am confident concerning you, my brethren, that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another. |
| 15 | Nevertheless, brethren, I have written more boldly to you on some points, as reminding you, because of the grace given to me by God, |
| 16 | that I might be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering of the Gentiles might be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. |
| 17 | Therefore I have reason to glory in Christ Jesus in the things which pertain to God. |
| 18 | For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ has not accomplished through me, in word and deed, to make the Gentiles obedient-- |
| 19 | in 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, lest I should build on another man's foundation, |
| 21 | but as it is written: "To whom He was not announced, they shall see; And those who have not heard shall understand." |
| 22 | For this reason I also have been much hindered from coming to you. |
| 23 | But now no longer having a place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come to you, |
| 24 | whenever I journey to Spain, I shall come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may enjoy your company for a while. |
| 25 | But now I am going to Jerusalem to minister to the saints. |
| 26 | For it pleased those from Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are in Jerusalem. |
| 27 | It pleased them indeed, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister to them in material things. |
| 28 | Therefore, when I have performed this and have sealed to them this fruit, I shall go by way of you to Spain. |
| 29 | But I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ. |
| 30 | Now I beg you, brethren, through the Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in prayers to God for me, |
| 31 | that I may be delivered from those in Judea who do not believe, and that my service for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints, |
| 32 | that I may come to you with joy by the will of God, and may be refreshed together with you. |
| 33 | Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen. |
