Romans 1:15

²⁰yes, making it my aim to preach the Good News, not where Christ was already named, that I might not build on another’s foundation.

⁸I heard the Lord’s voice, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am. Send me!”

¹³Then Paul answered, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”

¹²For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you don’t have.

³⁴Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.

¹⁸If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men.
