17. In Christ Jesus, then, I have reason to boast in what pertains to God.
18. For I will not dare to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to lead the Gentiles to obedience by word and deed,
19. by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit [of God], so that from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum I have finished preaching the gospel of Christ.
20. Thus I aspire to proclaim the gospel not where Christ has already been named, so that I do not build on another’s foundation,
21. but as it is written:“Those who have never been told of him shall see,and those who have never heard of him shall understand.”
