Romans 15:20

οὕτως δὲ φιλοτιμούμενον εὐαγγελίζεσθαι, οὐχ ὅπου ὠνομάσθη Χριστός, ἵνα μὴ ἐπ' ἀλλότριον θεμέλιον οἰκοδομῶ·
oytōs de philotimoymenon eyaggelizesthai, oych opoy ōnomasthē Christos, ina mē ep' allotrion themelion oikodomō·
King James Version (KJV)

Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:

Modern English

It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else's foundation.
