Romans 15:14-21 Exploring CJB


Romans 15:14-21 Now I myself am convinced, my brothers, that you are full of goodness, filled with knowledge and well able to counsel each other. 

But on some points I have written you quite boldly by way of reminding you about them, because of the grace God has given me 

to be a servant of the Messiah Yeshua for the Gentiles, with the priestly duty of presenting the Good News of God, so that the Gentiles may be an acceptable offering, made holy by the Ruach HaKodesh.

In union with the Messiah Yeshua, then, I have reason to be proud of my service to God; 


for I will not dare speak of anything except what the Messiah has accomplished through me to bring the Gentiles to obedience by my words and deeds, 


through the power of signs and miracles, through the power of the Spirit of God. So from Yerushalayim all the way to Illyricum I have fully proclaimed the Good News of the Messiah. 


I have always made it my ambition to proclaim the Good News where the Messiah was not yet known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation, 


but rather, as the Tanakh puts it, “Those who have not been told about him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.”

Ephesians 1:15-19 For this reason, ever since I heard about your trust in the Lord Yeshua and your love for all God’s people, 

I have not stopped giving thanks for you. In my prayers I keep asking 

the God of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, the glorious Father, to give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you will have full knowledge of him. 

I pray that he will give light to the eyes of your hearts, so that you will understand the hope to which he has called you, what rich glories there are in the inheritance he has promised his people, 

and how surpassingly great is his power working in us who trust him. It works with the same mighty strength he used 

Romans 11:13-14 However, to those of you who are Gentiles I say this: since I myself am an emissary sent to the Gentiles, I make known the importance of my work 

in the hope that somehow I may provoke some of my own people to jealousy and save some of them! 

1 Corinthians 1:26-31 Just look at yourselves, brothers — look at those whom God has called! Not many of you are wise by the world’s standards, not many wield power or boast noble birth. 

But God chose what the world considers nonsense in order to shame the wise; God chose what the world considers weak in order to shame the strong; 

and God chose what the world looks down on as common or regards as nothing in order to bring to nothing what the world considers important; 

so that no one should boast before God. 

It is his doing that you are united with the Messiah Yeshua. He has become wisdom for us from God, and righteousness and holiness and redemption as well! 

Therefore — as the Tanakh says — “Let anyone who wants to boast, boast about Adonai.”

Acts of Emissaries of Yeshua 15:12 Then the whole assembly kept still as they listened to Bar-Nabba and Sha’ul tell what signs and miracles God had done through them among the Gentiles.

Acts of Emissaries of Yeshua 21:18-21 The next day Sha’ul and the rest of us went in to Ya‘akov, and all the elders were present. 

After greeting them, Sha’ul described in detail each of the things God had done among the Gentiles through his efforts.

On hearing it, they praised God; but they also said to him, “You see, brother, how many tens of thousands of believers there are among the Judeans, and they are all zealots for the Torah. 


Now what they have been told about you is that you are teaching all the Jews living among the Goyim to apostatize from Moshe, telling them not to have a b’rit-milah for their sons and not to follow the traditions.

Acts of Emissaries of Yeshua 2:18-21 Even on my slaves, both men and women, will I pour out from my Spirit in those days; and they will prophesy.

I will perform miracles in the sky above and signs on the earth below —blood, fire and thick smoke.


The sun will become dark and the moon blood before the great and fearful Day of Adonai comes.


And then, whoever calls on the name of Adonai will be saved.”’

Yesha 'yahu (Isa) 52:13-15 “See how my servant will succeed! He will be raised up, exalted, highly honored!

Just as many were appalled at him, because he was so disfigured that he didn’t even seem human and simply no longer looked like a man,


so now he will startle many nations; because of him, kings will be speechless. For they will see what they had not been told, they will ponder things they had never heard.”
