LESSON 75
PAUL’S
MINISTRY TO THE GENTILES PART 2
Romans
15:17-21 (KJV)
17 I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things
which pertain to God. 18 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, 19 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. 20 Yea,
so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I
should build upon another man's foundation: 21 But as it is written, To whom he
was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall
understand.
Romans
15:17-21 (CEB)
17 So in Christ Jesus I brag
about things that have to do with God. 18 I don’t dare speak about
anything except what Christ has done through me to
bring about the obedience of the Gentiles. He did it by what I’ve said and
what I’ve done, 19 by the power of signs and
wonders, and by the power of God’s Spirit. So
I’ve completed the circuit of preaching Christ’s gospel from Jerusalem all the
way around to Illyricum. 20 In this way, I have a goal to preach the gospel where they
haven’t heard of Christ yet, so that I won’t be building on someone else’s
foundation.21 Instead, as it’s written, Those who hadn’t been told
about him will see, and those who hadn’t heard will understand.[a]
Footnotes:
Isa 52:15 - (CEB) 15 But he
will astonish[a] many nations. Kings will
be silenced because of him, because they will see what they haven’t seen before;
what they haven’t heard before, they will ponder.
