Romans 15:21

---

← Romans 15:20	Romans 15:21 (KJV)	Romans 15:22 →
Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:	But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.	For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you.

In comparative, it retains substantially the same meaning of circuit (around), excess (beyond), or completeness (through).
