Context of Romans 15:29

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. But I know that, coming to you, I shall come in [the] fulness of [the] blessing of Christ. 30But I beseech you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in prayers for me to God; 31that I may be saved from those that do not believe in Judaea; and that my ministry which [I have] for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints;

Only the warning about false teachers is a non-standard feature in this conclusion (16:17–19).Read the comment
