²⁰and so aiming to announce the glad tidings, not where Christ has been named, that I might not build upon another’s foundation; ²¹but according as it is written, To whom there was nothing told concerning him, they shall see; and they that have not heard shall understand.

²²Wherefore also I have been often hindered from coming to you. ²³But now, having no longer place in these regions, and having great desire to come to you these many years, ²⁴whenever I should go to Spain; (for I hope to see you as I go through, and by you to be set forward thither, if first I shall have been in part filled with your company;) ²⁵but now I go to Jerusalem, ministering to the saints; ²⁶for Macedonia and Achaia have been well pleased to make a certain contribution for the poor of the saints who are in Jerusalem. ²⁷They have been well pleased indeed, and they are their debtors; for if the nations have participated in their spiritual things, they ought also in fleshly to minister to them. ²⁸Having finished this therefore, and having sealed to them this fruit, I will set off by you into Spain.
