Romans 15:20–28

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; ²¹but, as it is written,

They shall see, to whom no tidings of him came,

And they who have not heard shall understand.

²²Wherefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you: ²³but now, having no more any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come unto you, ²⁴whensoever I go unto Spain (for I hope to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first in some measure I shall have been satisfied with your company)— ²⁵but now, I say, I go unto Jerusalem, ministering unto the saints. ²⁶For it hath been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints that are at Jerusalem. ²⁷Yea, it hath been their good pleasure; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it to them also to minister unto them in carnal things. ²⁸When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by you unto Spain.
