Paul’s Letter To The Romans
22 - This is the reason why I have so often been hindered from coming to see you. 23 But now, since I no longer have opportunity for work in these regions, and since I’ve longed for many years to come to you, 24 I hope to see you in passing as I go to Spain, and to be helped on my journey there by you, once I have enjoyed your company for a while. 25 At present, however, I’m going to Jerusalem to bring some aid there for the saints/believers/followers. (There had been a drought.) 26 For Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem. 27 For they were pleased to do it, and indeed it seems right, for if the Gentiles have come to share in their spiritual blessings, why not be of service to them in material blessings? 28 When therefore I’ve completed this and have delivered to them what has been collected, I’ll leave for Spain by way of Rome. 29 I know when I come to you I’ll come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ. 30 I ask you, brothers and sisters, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit to strive together with me in your prayers to God on my behalf, 31 that I may be kept safe from the unbelieving leaders in Judea, and that my service for Jerusalem may be acceptable to them, 32 so that by God's will I may joyfully come to you at last and be refreshed in your company as we seek his rest together. 33 May the God of peace be with you all! Amen.
