Context of Romans 15:25
23But now with no place in these regions, and since I have had a desire for many years to come to you, 24I hope to see you while traveling through when I go to Spain—and to be helped on my journey there by you, if first I may enjoy your company for a bit. But now I am going to Jerusalem, bringing aid to the kedoshim. 26For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the believers in Jerusalem. 27Yes, they were pleased to do so, and they are under obligation to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual blessings, they also ought to serve them in material blessings.
