Romans 15:25-29

25But now, I am ready to go to Jerusalem to help God's people there.

26Some of them are poor, and the Christians in Macedonia and Achaia wanted to help them. So they got some money to send to those people.

27The Christians in Macedonia and Achaia were happy to share what they had. But really, they have a duty to help the Jewish Christians in Jerusalem. It is the Jews who shared good things from God to help the Gentiles in their spirits. So now the Gentiles ought to help the Jewish Christians with things that they need for their bodies.

28So I must take their gift safely to the Christians in Jerusalem. When I have finished that job, I will come to visit you. Then I will continue my journey to Spain.

29When I visit you, I know that Christ will bless us very much while we are together.
