Romans 15:22-33 - Paul's Travel Plans

22 And thus I have been much hindered from coming to you: 23 but now having no more to detain me in these parts, and having had a great desire for many years to come to you, when I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: 24 for I hope to see you as I pass by, and to be brought forward by you on my way thither, after I have first had some enjoyment of you. 25 But now I am going to Jerusalem to minister unto the saints. 26 For the Macedonians and Achaians have been pleased to make a contribution for the poor saints at Jerusalem. 27 It pleased them, I say, and they are indeed their debtors; for if the Gentiles have partook of their spiritual things, they ought also to be helpful to them in carnal ones. 28 Therefore when I have dispatched this, and sealed this fruit of love to them, I will come by you into Spain. 29 And I know that when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

30 Now I beseech you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that ye earnestly strive together with me in prayers to God for me; 31 that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea; and that this my service at Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints: 32 that I may come to you with joy, by the will of God, and may be refreshed with you. 33 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
