Exegesis
The verse begins with the discourse marker houtos de {οὕτως δὲ | hoú-tōs dé} ‘so then, thus’, which links this statement to Paul’s preceding explanation of his ministry pattern and provides a summary inference.
In context — Romans 15:20
So I make it my ambition to proclaim the good news, not where Christ has already been named, so that I do not build on another person's foundation .
