Romans 15:23–33

²³But now, since I no longer have any room for work in these regions, and ^csince I have longed for many years to come to you, ²⁴I hope to see you in passing as I go ^dto Spain, and ^eto be helped on my journey there by you, once I have enjoyed your company for a while. ²⁵At present, however, ^fI am going to Jerusalem bringing aid to the saints. ²⁶For ^gMacedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem. ²⁷For they were pleased to do it, and indeed ^hthey owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have come to share in their spiritual blessings, they ought also to be of service to them in material blessings. ²⁸When therefore I have completed this and have delivered to them what has been collected,² I will leave ⁱfor Spain by way of you. ²⁹I know that when I come to you I will come in the fullness of the blessing³ of Christ.

³⁰I appeal to you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by ^jthe love of the Spirit, ^kto strive together with me in your prayers to God on my behalf, ^31lthat I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea, and that ^mmy service for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints, ³²so that by God’s will I may come to you with joy and ⁿbe refreshed in your company. ³³May ^othe God of peace be with you all. Amen.
