Romans 15:22-33

22For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you.1 23But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come to you; 24Whenever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way there by you, if first I shall be somewhat filled with your company .2 25But now I go to Jerusalem to minister to the saints. 26For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor of the saints who are at Jerusalem. 27It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister to them in carnal things. 28When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go by you into Spain. 29And I am sure that, when I come to you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

30Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me; 31That I may be delivered from them in Judaea who do not believe; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints;3 32That I may come to you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed. 33Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
