Paul's Apostolic Ministry to the Gentiles
Romans 15:14-21
14
Now I myself am convinced, my brothers, that you are full of goodness, filled with knowledge and well able to counsel each other.
15
But on some points I have written you quite boldly by way of reminding you about them, because of the grace God has given me
16
to be a servant of the Messiah Yeshua for the Gentiles, with the priestly duty of presenting the Good News of God, so that the Gentiles may be an acceptable offering, made holy by the Ruach HaKodesh.
17
In union with the Messiah Yeshua, then, I have reason to be proud of my service to God;
18
for I will not dare speak of anything except what the Messiah has accomplished through me to bring the Gentiles to obedience by my words and deeds,
19
through the power of signs and miracles, through the power of the Spirit of God. So from Yerushalayim all the way to Illyricum I have fully proclaimed the Good News of the Messiah.
20
I have always made it my ambition to proclaim the Good News where the Messiah was not yet known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation,
21
but rather, as the Tanakh puts it,
“Those who have not been told about him will see,
and those who have not heard will understand.”
