Context
Paul’s Motivation for Writing the Letter
15:14 But I myself am fully convinced about you , my brothers and sisters , that you yourselves are full of goodness , filled with all knowledge , and able to instruct one another .
15:15 But I have written more boldly to you on some points so as to remind you , because of the grace given to me by God
15:16 to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles . I serve the gospel of God like a priest , so that the Gentiles may become an acceptable offering , sanctified by the Holy Spirit .
15:17 So I boast in Christ Jesus about the things that pertain to God .
15:18 For I will not dare to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in order to bring about the obedience of the Gentiles , by word and deed ,
15:19 in the power of signs and wonders , in the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem even as far as Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ .
15:20 And in this way I desire to preach where Christ has not been named , so as not to build on another person’s foundation ,
15:21 but as it is written : “Those who were not told about him will see , and those who have not heard will understand .”
