Romans 15:20–28

²⁰And so I have made it my aim to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, ^alest I should build on another man’s foundation, ²¹but as it is written:

^b“To whom He was not announced, they shall see;

And those who have not heard shall understand.”

Plan to Visit Rome

²²For this reason ^cI also have been much hindered from coming to you. ²³But now no longer having a place in these parts, and ^dhaving a great desire these many years to come to you, ²⁴whenever I journey to Spain, ⁸I shall come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, ^eand to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may ^fenjoy your company for a while. ²⁵But now ^gI am going to Jerusalem to ⁹minister to the saints. ²⁶For ^hit pleased those from Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are in Jerusalem. ²⁷It pleased them indeed, and they are their debtors. For ⁱif the Gentiles have been partakers of their spiritual things, ^jtheir duty is also to minister to them in material things. ²⁸Therefore, when I have performed this and have sealed to them ^kthis fruit, I shall go by way of you to Spain.
