I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God (15:17)

For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed, (15:18)

Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ (15:19)

Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation: (15:20)

But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand (15:21)

For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you (15:22)

But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto you; (15:23)

Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your [company] (15:24)

But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints (15:25)

For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem (15:26)

It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things (15:27)

When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain (15:28)

And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ (15:29)

Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in [your] prayers to God for me; (15:30)

That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which [I have] for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints; (15:31)

That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed (15:32)

Now the God of peace [be] with you all. Amen (15:33)
