When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by you unto Spain. 29And I know that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of Christ. 30Now I beseech you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;
