Romans 15:20 in Context — Romans 15

18 Pois eu não ousaria falar coisa alguma, a não ser o que Cristo fez por meio de mim, para tornar os gentios obedientes, por meio da palavra e da obra,

19 com poder de sinais e milagres, no poder do Espíritode Deus; de maneira que desde Jerusalém e redondezas até Ilírico, cumpri a pregação do Evangelho de Cristo.

20 E assim quis muito anunciar o Evangelho onde Cristo não houvesse sido pregado, para que eu não construísse sobre fundamento alheio;

21 ao contrário, como está escrito: “Aqueles a quem dele não foi anunciado [o] verão; e os que não ouviram entenderão.”

22 Por isso também muitas vezes tenho sido impedido de ir até vós.
