Romans 15:19–20

¹⁹by the power of signs and wonders, and by the power of the Spirit of God.^f 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.
