    2 Each of us must please our neighbor for the good purpose of building him up.ISV — Romans 15:2

    14 I myself am convinced, s15:14 Lit. convinced about you my brothers, that you yourselves are filled with goodness and full of all the knowledge you need to be able to instruct each other.ISV — Romans 15:14

    15 However, on some points I have written to you rather boldly, both as a reminder to you and because of the grace given me by GodISV — Romans 15:15

    17 Therefore, in the Messiah u15:17 Or Christ Jesus I have the right to boast about my work for God.ISV — Romans 15:17

    18 For I am bold enough to tell you only about what the Messiah v15:18 Or Christ has accomplished through me in bringing gentiles to obedience. By my words and actions,ISV — Romans 15:18

    19 by the power of signs and wonders, and by the power of God’s Spirit, w15:19 Other mss. read of the Holy Spirit I have fully proclaimed the gospel of the Messiah x15:19 Or Christ from Jerusalem as far as Illyricum.ISV — Romans 15:19

    20 My one ambition is to proclaim the gospel where the name of the Messiah y15:20 Or Christ is not known, so I don’t z15:20 Lit. known, lest I build on someone else’s foundation.ISV — Romans 15:20

    21 Rather, as it is written, “Those who were never told about him will see, and those who have never heard will understand.” aa15:21 Isa 52:15ISV — Romans 15:21

    22 This is why I have so often been hindered from coming to you.ISV — Romans 15:22
