15. But I have written to you, brethren, more boldly in some sort, as it were putting you in mind: because of the grace which is given me from God.

16. That I should be the minister of Christ Jesus among the Gentiles; sanctifying the gospel of God, that the oblation of the Gentiles may be made acceptable and sanctified in the Holy Ghost.

17. I have therefore glory in Christ Jesus towards God.

18. For I dare not to speak of any of those things which Christ worketh not by me, for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,

20. And I have so preached this gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation.

21. But as it is written: They to whom he was not spoken of, shall see, and they that have not heard shall understand.

22. For which cause also I was hindered very much from coming to you, and have been kept away till now.
