Yea, so have I striven to preach the Gospel not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation;
yea, making it my aim so to preach the gospel, not where Christ was already named, that I might not build upon another man’s foundation;
Accordingly I set a goal to preach the gospel, not where Christ’s name was already known, so that I would not build on another man’s foundation;
Thus my ambition has been to preach the Gospel, not where Christ’s name has already been known, lest I build on another man’s foundation;
Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation:
My aim is to preach the gospel where Christ has not been named, so that I will not build on someone else’s foundation,
In this way, I have a goal to preach the gospel where they haven’t heard of Christ yet, so that I won’t be building on someone else’s foundation.
I have always made it my ambition to proclaim the Good News where the Messiah was not yet known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation,
But I have always tried to preach where people have never heard about Christ. I am like a builder who doesn't build on someone else's foundation.
and so aiming to announce the glad tidings, not where Christ has been named, that I might not build upon another's foundation;
and was thus being ambitious to be announcing-the-good-news where Christ was not named in order that I might not be building upon a foundation belonging-to-another,
And I have so preached this gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation.
I always want to tell the Good News in places where people have never heard of Christ. I do this because I don’t want to build on the work that someone else has already started.
I want to go to places where nobody has ever told people about Christ before. I want to tell the good news to people in those places. That is what I have always wanted to do. I do not want to work in a place where someone else has already started to teach God's message.
And so I consider it an honor to proclaim the gospel where Christ’s name is not known, so that I may not build on another man’s foundation.
and thus I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, lest I build on someone else's foundation,
and thus I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, lest I build on someone else's foundation,
[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 [L Christ has not been named], ·because I do not want [or in order not] to build on the ·work someone else has already started [L foundation of others].
Yea, so I enforced myself to preach the Gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should have built on another man’s foundation.
My goal was to spread the Good News where the name of Christ was not known. I didn’t want to build on a foundation which others had laid.
My ambition has always been to proclaim the Good News in places where Christ has not been heard of, so as not to build on a foundation laid by someone else.
My aim is to evangelize where Christ has not been named, so that I will not build on someone else’s foundation,
I always want to preach the Good News in places where people have never heard of Christ. I do this because I do not want to build on the work that someone else has already started.
My one ambition is to proclaim the gospel where the name of the Messiah is not known, so I don’t build on someone else’s foundation.
And I think I have something to be proud of (through Christ, of course) in my work for God. I am not competent to speak of the work Christ has done through others, but I do know that through me he has secured the obedience of Gentiles in word and deed, working by sign and miracle and all the power of the Spirit. I have fully preached the Gospel from Jerusalem and the surrounding country as far as Illyricum. My constant ambition has been to preach the Gospel where the name of Christ was previously unknown, and to avoid as far as possible building on another man’s foundations, so that: ‘To whom he was not announced, they shall see; and those who have not heard shall understand’.
And in this manner I preached this gospel, not where Christ had been named previously, not to build upon a foundation belonging to another,
Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:
Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation:
And in this way I make it my ambition to proclaim the gospel, not where Christ was already named, so that I would not build on another man’s foundation;
And so, having as my ambition to proclaim the gospel where Christ has not been named, in order that I will not build on the foundation belonging to someone else,
But all the while my ambition has been to go still farther, preaching where the name of Christ has never yet been heard, rather than where a church has already been started by someone else.
Looking back over what has been accomplished and what I have observed, I must say I am most pleased—in the context of Jesus, I’d even say proud, but only in that context. I have no interest in giving you a chatty account of my adventures, only the wondrously powerful and transformingly present words and deeds of Christ in me that triggered a believing response among the outsiders. In such ways I have trailblazed a preaching of the Message of Jesus all the way from Jerusalem far into northwestern Greece. This has all been pioneer work, bringing the Message only into those places where Jesus was not yet known and worshiped. My text has been, Those who were never told of him— they’ll see him! Those who’ve never heard of him— they’ll get the message! * * *
So I have strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, so that I should not build on another man’s foundation.
And thus I have always made it my aim to preach the gospel, not where Christ was known, lest I should build on someone else’s foundation;
My goal was to spread the Good News where the name of Christ was not known. I didn’t want to build on a foundation which others had laid.
Thus I aspire to proclaim the gospel not where Christ has already been named, so that I do not build on another’s foundation,
And in this way I aspired to preach the gospel, not where Christ was already known by name, so that I would not build on another person’s foundation;
And thus I aspired to preach the gospel, not where Christ was already named, so that I would not build on another man’s foundation;
Moreover, I have always striven to preach the gospel of Christ where the name of Christ is not known, not wanting to build on someone else’s foundation.
I always want to preach the Good News in places where people have never heard of Christ, because I do not want to build on the work someone else has already started.
And in this way I desire to preach where Christ has not been named, so as not to build on another person’s foundation,
I have always wanted to preach the good news where Christ was not known. I don’t want to build on what someone else has started.
It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation.
It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation.
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,
It is my desire to preach the Good News where it has never been preached. I want to preach only where Christ is not known.
My ambition has always been to preach the Good News where the name of Christ has never been heard, rather than where a church has already been started by someone else.
Thus have I exerted myself to preach the gospel – not where Christ was already named, lest I should have built on another man’s foundation,
Thus I make it my ambition to proclaim the good news, not where Christ has already been named, so that I do not build on someone else’s foundation,

thus making it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, lest I build on another man’s foundation,
In this way I make it my aim to proclaim the Good News not where Messiah was already named, lest I build on another person’s foundation,
I have dreamed of preaching the gospel in places where no one has ever heard of the Anointed so that I do not build on a foundation laid by anyone else.
yes, making it my aim to preach the Good News, not where Christ was already named, that I might not build on another’s foundation.
I have wanted to tell the good news where people have not heard the name of Christ. I did not want to work where another man had started to work.
And so I have preached this gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I build upon another's ground,
and so counting it honour to proclaim good news, not where Christ was named -- that upon another's foundation I might not build --
