Romans 15:20

I have made it my honor to preach the gospel where the name of the Anointed One (Messiah, Christ) is not yet known, so that I do not build on a foundation laid by someone else. [The reason for the visit to Rom is not to build anything new; it is really just a stopover on the way westward to Spain, see verse 24 and 28.]
