15:14 Paulos as missionary to non-Jews

14 My brothers and sisters, I’ve also been persuaded about you myself, that having been filled with knowledge, you’re also full of goodness and able to rebuke each other. 15 But I wrote to you more boldly, partly to remind you, brothers and sisters, because of the generosity God showed me 16 so that I’d serve the non-Jews for Messiah Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus), sharing God’s good message so that the offering of the non-Jews would be acceptable to him, having been purified by the holy spirit. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? 17 Therefore I’m boasting in Messiah Yeshua about things to do with God. 18 I wouldn’t dare to speak about anything except what Messiah did through me, which led to the obedience of non-Jews through my message and through my doing 19 powerful miracles and amazing things in the power of God’s spirit, so that from Yerushalem (Jerusalem) all the way around to Illurikon, I’ve obeyed the Messiah’s good message. 20 I was eager to be preaching the good message wherever Messiah wasn’t known about, so that I wouldn’t be building on someone else’s foundations, 21 but as it was written:

‘Anyone who hasn’t been told about him,

they will be seeing,

and anyone who hasn’t heard about him,

they will be understanding.’[ref]

15:21: Isa 52:15 (LXX).

14 And I _have _been _persuaded, brothers of _me, also myself I concerning you _all, that also yourselves full are of _goodness, having _been _filled with _all knowledge, being _able also one _another to _be _admonishing.

15 But more _boldly I _wrote to _you _all in part, as reminding you _all, because _of the grace which having _been _given to _me by the god,

16 in _order that to _be me a_minister of_chosen _one /messiah Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) to the pagans, sacredly-servicing the good _message of_ the _god, in _order _that may _become the offering of _the pagans acceptable, having _been _sanctified by the_spirit holy.

17 Therefore I _am _having the boasting in chosen _one /messiah Yaʸsous the things with the god.

18 For/Because not I _will _be _daring anything to _be _speaking, of _what things not produced chosen _one /messiah through me, because/for obedience of_the_pagans by _message and work

19 in power of _signs and wonders in the_power of_the_spirit of_god, so _that me from Hierousalaʸm/(Yərūshālayim) and around unto the Illurikon, to _have _fulfilled the good _message of _the chosen _one /messiah,

20 and thus being _ambitious to _be _good _message _preaching, not where was _named chosen _one /messiah, in _order _that not on anothers foundation I _may _be _building,

21 but as it _has _been _written:
To _whom not it _was _declared concerning him, they _will _be _seeing, and those _who not have _heard, they _will _be _understanding.
