Romans 15:20–28

²⁰And in this way I make it my ambition to ^aproclaim the gospel, not where Christ was already named, ^bso that I would not build on another man’s foundation;

²¹but as it is written,

“^aThey who had no declaration of Him shall see,

And they who have not heard shall understand.”

²²For this reason ^aI have often been prevented from coming to you;

²³but now, with no further place for me in these regions, and since I ^ahave had for many years a longing to come to you

²⁴whenever I ^ago to Spain—for I hope, passing through, to see you, and to be ^bhelped on my way there by you, when I have first ^cenjoyed your company ¹for a while.

²⁵But now ^aI am going to Jerusalem to ^bserve the ¹saints.

²⁶For ^aMacedonia and ^bAchaia were pleased to ¹share with the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.

²⁷Yes, they were pleased to do so, and they are indebted to them. For ^aif the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they are indebted to minister to them also in material things.

²⁸Therefore, when I have completed this and ^ahave ¹put my seal on this fruit of theirs, I will ^bgo on by way of you to Spain.
