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

22 Wherefore also I have found many things to hinder me from coming to you; 23 but now having no longer cause to detain me in these regions, and having an earnest desire to come unto you for many years past, 24 whenever I proceed on my journey into Spain, I will come unto you: for I hope on my journey to see you, and by you to be forwarded thither, after I shall have first, in a measure, fully enjoyed your society. 25 But I am now going to Jerusalem, to carry alms to the saints. 26 For Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make a certain contribution for the poor of the saints that are at Jerusalem. 27 They have been so pleased indeed, and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been admitted to a participation in their spiritual things, they ought also to minister to them in carnal things. 28 When therefore I have completed this work, and sealed unto them this fruit, I will pass by you into Spain. 29 But I know that, when I come to you, I shall come with the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

30 Now I exhort you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that you wrestle earnestly with me in prayers for me unto God; 31 that I may be delivered from those who do not believe in Judea; and that my service which regards Jerusalem may be kindly accepted by the saints; 32 that I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may be refreshed together with you. 33 Now the God of peace be with you all! Amen.
