Romans 15:15-21

Noyes(i) 15 But I have written to you, brethren, in a manner somewhat bold on some subjects, as putting you in mind, on account of the grace given me by God 16 that I should be a minister of Christ Jesus to the gentiles, performing the office of a priest in respect to the gospel of God, that the oblation of the gentiles may be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. 17 I have then ground for glorying in Christ Jesus in regard to the things pertaining m God. 18 For I will not be bold to say anything hut of what Christ hath actually wrought by me to bring the gentiles to obedience by word and deed, 19 by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit; so that from Jerusalem, and in the country around even to Illyricum, I have fully made known the gospel of Christ; 20 but always earnestly desirous to preach it in this manner,not where Christ had been named, that I might not build on anothers foundation, 21 but, as it is written: "They, to whom no tidings concerning him came, shall see; and they that have not heard shall understand."
