Romans 15:20-23
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 15

20And in this way I aspired to preach the gospel, not where Christ was already known by name, so that I would not build on another person’s foundation;
21but just as it is written: 'THEY WHO HAVE NOT BEEN TOLD ABOUT HIM WILL SEE, AND THEY WHO HAVE NOT HEARD WILL UNDERSTAND.'
22For this reason I have often been prevented from coming to you; 23but now, with no further place for me in these regions, and since I have had for many years a longing to come to you
King James Version

Chapter 15

20Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation: 21But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.
22For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you. 23But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto you;
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 15

20My aim is to preach the gospel where Christ has not been named, so that I will not build on someone else’s foundation,
21but, as it is written, Those who were not told about him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.
22That is why I have been prevented many times from coming to you. 23But now I no longer have any work to do in these regions, and I have strongly desired for many years to come to you
New Living Translation

Chapter 15

20My ambition has always been to preach the Good News where the name of Christ has never been heard, rather than where a church has already been started by someone else.
21I have been following the plan spoken of in the Scriptures, where it says, 'Those who have never been told about him will see, and those who have never heard of him will understand.'
22In fact, my visit to you has been delayed so long because I have been preaching in these places.
23But now I have finished my work in these regions, and after all these long years of waiting, I am eager to visit you.
English Standard Version

Chapter 15

20and thus I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, lest I build on someone else 's foundation, 21but as it is written, "Those who have never been told of him will see, and those who have never heard will understand."
22This is the reason why I have so often been hindered from coming to you. 23But now, since I no longer have any room for work in these regions, and since I have longed for many years to come to you,
New International Version

Chapter 15

20It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation.
21Rather, as it is written: "Those who were not told about him will see, and those who have not heard will understand."
22This is why I have often been hindered from coming to you.
23But now that there is no more place for me to work in these regions, and since I have been longing for many years to visit you,
New King James Version

Chapter 15

20And so I have made it my aim to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build on another man’s foundation,
21but as it is written: “To whom He was not announced, they shall see; And those who have not heard shall understand.”
22For this reason I also have been much hindered from coming to you. 23But now no longer having a place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come to you,
