And thus I aspired to preach the gospel, not where Christ was already named, so that I would not build on another man's foundation;
20yea, making it my aim so to preach the gospel, not where Christ was already named, that I might not build upon another man’s foundation;
20 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,
20 Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation:
20 And so, having as my ambition to proclaim the gospel where Christ has not been named, in order that I will not build on the foundation belonging to someone else,
20and so counting it honor to proclaim good news, not where Christ was named—that on another’s foundation I might not build—
20My ambition has always been to preach the Good News where the name of Christ has never been heard, rather than where a church has already been started by someone else.
