Romans 15:18-33 ▼

18 For I dare not speake of any of those thinges which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the gentiles obedient with worde and deede,

19 In myghtie signes and wonders, by the power of the spirite of God: so that from Hierusalem, & the coastes rounde about, vnto Illyricum, I haue fullye preached the Gospell of Christe.

20 So haue I enforced my selfe to preach the Gospell, not where Christe was named, lest I shoulde haue buylt vpon an other mans foundation.

21 But as it is written: To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that hearde not, shall vnderstande.

22 For this cause I haue ben oft let, that I coulde not come vnto you.

23 But nowe, seyng I haue no more to do in these countreys, and also haue ben desirous many yeres to come vnto you:

24 Whensoeuer I take my iourney into Spayne, I wyll come to you: For I trust to see you in my iourney, and to be brought on my waye thytherwarde by you, after that I be somewhat fylled with you.

25 But nowe go I vnto Hierusalem, to minister vnto the saintes.

26 For it hath pleased them of Macedonia & Achaia to make a certaine comon gatheryng for the poore saintes whiche are at Hierusalem.

27 It hath pleased them veryly, & their detters are they. For yf the gentiles be made partakers of their spirituall thynges, their duetie is to minister vnto the in carnall thynges.

28 When I haue perfourmed this, and haue sealed to the this fruite, I wyll come by you into Spayne.

29 And I am sure, that when I come vnto you, I shall come with aboundaunce of the blessyng of the Gospell of Christe.

30 I beseche you brethren for ye Lorde Iesus Christes sake, and for the loue of the spirite, that ye helpe me in my busynesse with your prayers to God for me:

31 That I may be delyuered from them which beleue not in Iurie, & that this my seruice which I haue at Hierusalem may be accepted of the saintes:

32 That I may come vnto you with ioy, by the wyll of God, and may with you be refresshed.

33 The God of peace be with you al. Ame.
