For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,
I'm only going to talk about what Christ has actually done through me to bring non-Jewish people into the faith, the real stuff I've seen happen through both my words and actions.
Paul's keeping it real, he's only sharing what he's personally witnessed Christ do through him.
📚 Historical Context
In the first century AD, the Apostle Paul wrote his letter to the Romans from Corinth around 57 AD, aiming to unify Jewish and Gentile Christians and prepare for his planned visit to Rome. In Romans 15:18, Paul humbly emphasizes that he only discusses the works Christ has performed through him, particularly in bringing Gentiles to obedience through his preaching and actions, as part of his defense of his apostolic ministry. This reflects Paul's broader mission as the apostle to the Gentiles, highlighting his dependence on God's power rather than his own abilities.
