Romans 15:22-33

Romans 15:22-33 CSB

That is why I have been prevented many times from coming to you.  But now I no longer have any work to do in these regions,  and I have strongly desired for many years to come to you  whenever I travel to Spain.  For I hope to see you when I pass through and to be assisted by you for my journey there,  once I have first enjoyed your company  for a while. Right now I am traveling to Jerusalem  to serve the saints,  because Macedonia  and Achaia  were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem. Yes, they were pleased, and indeed are indebted to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual benefits,  then they are obligated to minister to them in material needs. So when I have finished this and safely delivered the funds  to them,  , I will visit you on the way to Spain. I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing  of Christ. Now I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, through our Lord Jesus Christ and through the love of the Spirit,  to strive together with me in prayers to God on my behalf.  Pray that I may be rescued from the unbelievers in Judea,  that my ministry to  Jerusalem  may be acceptable to the saints,  and that, by God’s will,  I may come to you with joy  and be refreshed together with you. May the God of peace be with all of you.  Amen.
