Romans 15:20-21 CEV But I have always tried to preach where people have never heard about Christ. I am like a builder who doesn't build on anyone else's foundation. (21) It is just as the Scriptures say, "All who haven't been told about him will see him, and those who haven't heard about him will understand."

Romans 15:20-21 GNB My ambition has always been to proclaim the Good News in places where Christ has not been heard of, so as not to build on a foundation laid by someone else. (21) As the scripture says, "Those who were not told about him will see, and those who have not heard will understand."

Romans 15:20-21 ESV and thus I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, lest I build on someone else's foundation, (21) but as it is written, "Those who have never been told of him will see, and those who have never heard will understand."

Romans 15:20-21 GW My goal was to spread the Good News where the name of Christ was not known. I didn't want to build on a foundation which others had laid. (21) As Scripture says, "Those who were never told about him will see, and those who never heard will understand."

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
