Romans 15:22-33 ▼

22 For this reason, also, I was hindered many times from coming to you,

23 and now, no longer having place in these parts, and having a longing to come to you for many years,

24 when I may go on to Spain I will come to you, for I hope in going through, to see you, and by you to be set forward there, if of you first, in part, I will be filled.

25 And now, I go on to Jerusalem, ministering to the holy ones;

26 for it pleased Macedonia and Achaia well to make a certain contribution for the poor of the holy ones who [are] in Jerusalem;

27 for it pleased well, and their debtors they are, for if the nations participated in their spiritual things, they ought also, in the fleshly things, to minister to them.

28 This, then, having finished, and having sealed to them this fruit, I will return through you, to Spain;

29 and I have known that coming to you—in the fullness of the blessing of the good news of Christ I will come.

30 And I call on you, brothers, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in the prayers for me to God,

31 that I may be delivered from those not believing in Judea, and that my ministry, that [is] for Jerusalem, may become acceptable to the holy ones;

32 that in joy I may come to you, through the will of God, and may be refreshed with you,

33 and the God of peace [be] with you all. Amen.
