Romans 15:18-21
I will speak about what Christ has done through me. I won’t try to speak about anything else. He has been leading the Gentiles to obey God. He has been doing this by what I have said and done.He has given me power to do signs and wonders. I can do these things by the power of the Spirit of God. From Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum I have finished preaching. In those places, I preached the good news about Christ.I have always wanted to preach the good news where Christ was not known. I don’t want to build on what someone else has started.It is written,“ Those who were not told about him will understand. Those who have not heard will know what it all means.”( Isaiah 52:15)

People who live on the islands, listen to me. Pay attention, you nations far away. Before I was born the Lord chose me to serve him.

He took good care of me and kept me safe.He said to me,“ You are my true servant Israel. I will show my glory through you.”But I said,“ In spite of my hard work, I feel as if I haven’t accomplished anything. I’ve used up all my strength. It seems as if everything I’ve done is worthless. But the Lord will give me what I should receive. My God will reward me.”The Lord formed me in my mother’s body to be his servant. He wanted me to bring the family of Jacob back to him. He wanted me to gather the people of Israel to himself. The Lord will honor me. My God will give me strength.Here is what the Lord says to me.“ It is not enough for you as my servant to bring the tribes of Jacob back to their land. It is not enough for you to bring back the people of Israel I have kept alive. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles. Then you will make it possible for the whole world to be saved.”
