Romans 15:14-21 Exploring YLT


Romans 15:14-21 And I am persuaded, my brethren — I myself also — concerning you, that ye yourselves also are full of goodness, having been filled with all knowledge, able also one another to admonish;

and the more boldly I did write to you, brethren, in part, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me by God,


for my being a servant of Jesus Christ to the nations, acting as priest in the good news of God, that the offering up of the nations may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.


I have, then, a boasting in Christ Jesus, in the things pertaining to God,


for I will not dare to speak anything of the things that Christ did not work through me, to obedience of nations, by word and deed,


in power of signs and wonders, in power of the Spirit of God; so that I, from Jerusalem, and in a circle as far as Illyricum, have fully preached the good news of the Christ;


and so counting it honour to proclaim good news, not where Christ was named — that upon another's foundation I might not build —


but according as it hath been written, ‘To whom it was not told concerning him, they shall see; and they who have not heard, shall understand.’

Ephesians 1:15-19 Because of this I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and the love to all the saints,



do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,


that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the recognition of him,


the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, for your knowing what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,


and what the exceeding greatness of His power to us who are believing, according to the working of the power of His might,

Romans 11:13-14 For to you I speak — to the nations — inasmuch as I am indeed an apostle of nations, my ministration I do glorify;

if by any means I shall arouse to jealousy mine own flesh, and shall save some of them,

1 Corinthians 1:26-31 for see your calling, brethren, that not many [are] wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble;



but the foolish things of the world did God choose, that the wise He may put to shame; and the weak things of the world did God choose that He may put to shame the strong;


and the base things of the world, and the things despised did God choose, and the things that are not, that the things that are He may make useless —


that no flesh may glory before Him;


and of Him ye — ye are in Christ Jesus, who became to us from God wisdom, righteousness also, and sanctification, and redemption,


that, according as it hath been written, ‘He who is glorying — in the Lord let him glory.’

Acts 15:12 And all the multitude did keep silence, and were hearkening to Barnabas and Paul, declaring as many signs and wonders as God did among the nations through them;

Acts 21:18-21 and on the morrow Paul was going in with us unto James, all the elders also came,

and having saluted them, he was declaring, one by one, each of the things God did among the nations through his ministration,


and they having heard, were glorifying the Lord. They said also to him, ‘Thou seest, brother, how many myriads there are of Jews who have believed, and all are zealous of the law,


and they are instructed concerning thee, that apostasy from Moses thou dost teach to all Jews among the nations, saying — Not to circumcise the children, nor after the customs to walk;

Acts 2:18-21 and also upon My men-servants, and upon My maid-servants, in those days, I will pour out of My Spirit, and they shall prophesy;

and I will give wonders in the heaven above, and signs upon the earth beneath — blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke,


the sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the day of the Lord — the great and illustrious;


and it shall be, every one — whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, he shall be saved.

Isaiah 52:13-15 Lo, My servant doth act wisely, He is high, and hath been lifted up, And hath been very high.

As astonished at thee have been many, (So marred by man his appearance, And his form by sons of men.)


So doth he sprinkle many nations. Concerning him kings shut their mouth, For that which was not recounted to them they have seen, And that which they had not heard they have understood!
