Romans 15:15-17 But, just to refresh your memories, I have written you pretty boldly on some points, because of the favor God has shown me

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ But, just to refresh your memories, I have written you pretty boldly on some points, because of the favor God has shown me ¹⁶ in making me a minister of Christ Jesus among the heathen, to act as a priest of God's good news, to see that the heathen are an acceptable sacrifice, consecrated by the holy Spirit. ¹⁷ So as a follower of Christ Jesus I have reason to be proud of my work for God.
