Romans 15:22-33 ▼

22 Wherefore, also, I was being hindered many times from coming to you;

23 but now, having no longer any place in these regions; and, having a desire for many years to come to you,

24 whensoever I go to Spain (for I am hoping, in passing through, to see you, and to be sent on my way thither by you, if first I have been satisfied, in a measure, with your company);

25 but now I am going to Jerusalem, ministering to the saints.

26 For Macedonia and Achaia were well pleased to make a certain contribution to the poor of the saints who are in Jerusalem.

27 Indeed, they were well pleased, and their debtors they are; for, if the gentiles were partakers of their spiritual things, they ought also to minister to them in carnal things.

28 After having completed this, and having sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by you into Spain;

29 and I know that, when coming to you, I will come in the fulness of the blessing of Christ.

30 And I beseech you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;

31 that I may be delivered from the unbelieving in Judea, and that my ministry to Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints;

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

33 And the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
