Romans 15:22-33 - Paul's Travel Plans
22 This is why I have so often been prevented from coming to see you. 23 But now there is no more work for me in this part of the world, and as I have had a great desire for many years to come to see you, 24 when I go to Spain I hope to see you on my way there, and to have you see me off on my journey, after I have enjoyed being with you for a while. 25 Just now I am starting for Jerusalem, to take help to God's people. 26 For Macedonia and Greece have determined to make a contribution for the poor among God's people in Jerusalem. 27 They determined to do it, and they really are indebted to them, for if the heathen have shared their spiritual blessings, they ought to do them a service in material ways. 28 So when I have finished this matter, and seen this contribution safely into their possession, I will start for Spain, and come to you on the way, 29 and I know that when I do come to see you, I will come with Christ's fullest blessing.
30 I beg you, brothers, for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ, and of the love that the Spirit inspires, join me in most earnest prayer to God for me. 31 Pray that I may escape from those in Judea who are disobedient, and that the help I am taking to Jerusalem may be well received by God's people, 32 so that, if it is God's will, I may come with a glad heart to see you and enjoy a visit with you. 33 God who gives peace be with you all! Amen.
