in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit; so that from Jerusalem, and round about even unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ;
20
yea, making it my aim so to preach the gospel, not where Christ was [already] named, that I might not build upon another man's foundation;
21
but, as it is written, They shall see, to whom no tidings of him came, And they who have not heard shall understand.
22
Wherefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you:
23
but now, having no more any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come unto you,
24
whensoever I go unto Spain (for I hope to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first in some measure I shall have been satisfied with your company)--
25
but now, I [say], I go unto Jerusalem, ministering unto the saints.
26
For it hath been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints that are at Jerusalem.
27
Yea, it hath been their good pleasure; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it [to them] also to minister unto them in carnal things.
28
When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by you unto Spain.
29
And I know that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of Christ.
