Romans 15:14-33

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Romans 15:14-33

14I myself am convinced, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, brimming with knowledge, and able to instruct one another.
15However, I have written you a bold reminder on some points, because of the grace God has given me
16to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
17Therefore I exult in Christ Jesus in my service to God.
18I will not presume to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obedience by word and deed,
19by the power of signs and wonders, and by the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.
20In this way I have aspired to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation.
21Rather, as it is written:
“Those who were not told about Him will see,
and those who have not heard will understand.”
22That is why I have often been hindered from coming to you.
23But now that there are no further opportunities for me in these regions, and since I have longed for many years to visit you,
24I hope to see you on my way to Spain. And after I have enjoyed your company for a while, you can equip me for my journey.
25Now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem to serve the saints there.
26For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.
27They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual blessings, they are obligated to minister to them with material blessings.
28So after I have completed this service and have safely delivered this bounty to them, I will set off to Spain by way of you.
29I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.
30Now I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.
31Pray that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea, and that my service in Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints there,
32so that by God’s will I may come to you with joy and together with you be refreshed.
33The God of peace be with all of you. Amen.
