Thus my ambition has been to preach the Gospel, not where Christ’s name has already been known, lest I build on another man’s foundation; (Amplified Bible)
17-21 Looking back over what has been accomplished and what I have observed, I must say I am most pleased—in the context of Jesus, I’d even say proud, but only in that context. I have no interest in giving you a chatty account of my adventures, only the wondrously powerful and transformingly present words and deeds of Christ in me that triggered a believing response among the outsiders. In such ways I have trailblazed a preaching of the Message of Jesus all the way from Jerusalem far into northwestern Greece. This has all been pioneer work, bringing the Message only into those places where Jesus was not yet known and worshiped. My text has been, Those who were never told of him—they’ll see him! Those who’ve never heard of him—they’ll get the message! (The Message)
I have always wanted to preach the good news where Christ was not known. I don’t want to build on what someone else has started. (New International Reader's Version)
(Wycliffe New Testament)
