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.

“in Christ Jesus then, I have reason to be proud of my work for God,”
“I have therefore, whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God,”

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.
“in mighty signs and wonders by the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem and round about to Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.”
“through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem and around about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached 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.
“Yea, so have I strived to preach the Gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation.”
“Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation,”

21Rather, as it is written: "Those who were not told about Him will see, and those who have not heard will understand."
“But as it is written, to whom he was not spoken of, they shall see and they that have not heard shall understand.”
“but as it is written, those who have never been told of him will see, and those who have never heard will understand,”
“But as it is written to whom he was not spoken of, they shall see, and they that have not heard shall understand.”
“But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of they shall see, and they that have not heard shall understand.”
“it is written, to whom he was not spoken of, they shall see, and they that have not heard shall understand.”
22That is why I have often been hindered from coming to you.
“For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you”
“This is the reason why I have so often been hindered from coming to you,”
“for which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you.”
“For which cause also I have been much 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,
“But now, since I no longer have any room for work in these regions, and since I have longed for many years to come to you,”
“"...but now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto 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.

“Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you, for I trust to see you in my journey and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company.”
25Now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem to serve the saints there.
“But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.”
“at present, however, I am going to Jerusalem, bringing aid to the saints,”
26For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.
“For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.”
“For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.”
“Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem.”
“For Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints of 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.
