Romans 15:18-20

Expanded Bible

¹⁸ I will not [dare] talk about anything except what Christ has done through me in leading the Gentiles to obey God. They have obeyed God because of what I have said and done, ¹⁹ because of the power of ·miracles [signs] and ·the great things they saw [wonders; marvels], ·and because of [or acccomplished through] the power of the Spirit of God. I have ·finished my work of preaching [fulfilled my commission to preach; or fully preached] the ·Good News [Gospel] from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum [^Ca Roman province northwest of Macedonia; modern Albania, Serbia and Montenegro]. ²⁰ [So; In this way] I always ·want [or try; make it my ambition] to preach the ·Good News [Gospel] in places where ·people have never heard of Christ [^LChrist has not been named], ·because I do not want [or in order not] to build on the ·work someone else has already started [^Lfoundation of others].
