Romans 15:23-29

23but now, with no further place for me in these regions, and since I 1have had for many years a longing to come to you 24whenever I 2go to Spain--for I hope to see you in passing, and to be 3helped on my way there by you, when I have first 4enjoyed your company 5for a while-- 25but now, 6I am going to Jerusalem, 7serving the 8saints. 26For 9Macedonia and 10Achaia have been pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the 11saints in Jerusalem. 27For they were pleased to do so, and they are indebted to them. For 12if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they are indebted to do them a service also in material things. 28Therefore, when I have finished this, and 13have 14put my seal on this fruit of theirs, I will 15go on by way of you to Spain. 29I know that when 16I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.
