Romans 15:20 in Context — Romans 15

18 Porque no osaría hablar alguna cosa que Cristo no haya hecho por mí para la obediencia de los Gentiles, con la palabra y con las obras,

19 Con potencia de milagros y prodigios, en virtud del Espíritu de Dios: de manera que desde Jerusalem, y por los alrededores hasta Ilírico, he llenado [todo] del evangelio de Cristo.

20 Y de esta manera me esforcé á predicar el evangelio, no donde [antes] Cristo fuese nombrado, por no edificar sobre ajeno fundamento:

21 Sino, como está escrito: A los que no fué anunciado de él, verán: y los que no oyeron, entenderán.

22 Por lo cual aun he sido impedido muchas veces de venir á vosotros.
