Theophylact of Ohrid, on Rom 15:18

Theophylact of Ohrid · c. 1055–1107
Rom 15:18 · Douay-Rheims
“For I dare not to speak of any of those things which Christ worketh not by me, for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,”
On this verse:
“Since he said of himself: I am a minister of the Gospel to all nations, he adds: I do not boast or pride myself on anything that I have not done; indeed, I did not do it, but Christ did, using me as an instrument. Whether I speak something, discoursing and philosophizing about heavenly things, or whether I do something, leading a life according to God, or whether I perform miracles—all this belongs to Christ.”
