Romans 15:18-20

Goodspeed(i) 18 For I will venture to speak only of what Christ has accomplished through me in winning the heathen to obedience, by word and action, 19 by the force of signs and marvels, and by the power of the holy Spirit, with the result that I have completed the preaching of the good news of Christ all the way from Jerusalem around to Illyricum. 20 In all this it has been my ambition to preach the good news only where Christ's name was unknown, so as not to build on foundations other men had laid.
