15 ¹⁴ MY FRIENDS, I have no doubt in my own mind that you yourselves are quite full of goodness and equipped with knowledge of every kind, well able to give advice to one another; 15 ¹⁵ nevertheless I have written to refresh your memory, and written somewhat boldly at times, in virtue of the gift I have from God. 15 ¹⁶ His grace has made me a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles; my priestly service is the preaching of the gospel of God, and it falls to me to offer the Gentiles to him as Or: ... of God, so that the worship which the Gentiles offer may be ... an acceptable sacrifice, consecrated by the Holy Spirit.
15 ¹⁷ Thus in the fellowship of Christ Jesus I have ground for pride in the service of God. 15 ¹⁸ I will venture is to speak of those things alone in which I have been Christ's instrument to bring the Gentiles into his allegiance, by word and deed, 15 ¹⁹ by the force of miraculous signs and by the power of the Holy Spirit. As a result I have completed the preaching of the gospel of Christ from Jerusalem as far round as Illyricum. 15 ²⁰ It is my ambition to bring the gospel to places where the very name of Christ has not been heard, for I do not want to build on another man's foundation; 15 ^{21 [ Is.52.15. ]} but, as Scripture says,

'They who had no news of him shall see,
and they who never heard of him shall understand.'
