18. I will not try to speak of anything except what Christ has done through me. He has been leading those who aren't Jews to obey God. He has been doing this by what I have said and done.
19. He has given me power to do signs and miracles. He has given me the power of the Holy Spirit. From Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum I have finished preaching the good news about Christ.
20. 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.
21. 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)
22. That's why I have often been kept from coming to you.
