Romans 15:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ to serve Christ Jesus among the Gentiles. I have the duty of a priest to preach God’s good news. Then the Gentiles will become an offering that pleases God. The Holy Spirit will make the offering holy.

¹⁷ Because I belong to Christ Jesus, I can take pride in my work for God. ¹⁸ I will speak about what Christ has done through me. I won’t try to speak about anything else. He has been leading the Gentiles to obey God. He has been doing this by what I have said and done.
