Romans 15:22-29

22This is the reason I was often hindered from coming to you.

23But now there is nothing more to keep me in these regions, and I have for many years desired to come to you

24when I go to Spain. For I hope to visit you when I pass through and that you will help me on my journey there, after I have enjoyed your company for a while.

25But now I go to Jerusalem to minister to the saints.

26For Macedonia and Achaia are pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.

27For they were pleased to do this, and indeed they are indebted to the Jerusalem saints. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they are obligated also to minister to them in material things.

28Therefore after I have completed this and have safely delivered this bounty to them, I will set out for Spain by way of you,

29and I know that when I come to you I will come in the fullness of Christ’s blessing.
