Romans 15:22-33 - Paul's Travel Plans
22 This is why I have been so hindered from coming to you. 23 But now, since I have no more any "opening" in these parts, and since I have longed for many years to come to you 24 whenever I go to Spain, I am hoping to see you on my way there, and to be set forward by you on my way there, and to be set forward by you on my journey thither, after I have enjoyed your company for a little while. 25 Just now I am going to Jerusalem to serve the saints. 26 For it has been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make an offering for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem. 27 Yes, it has been made their good pleasure, and their debt, too. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual riches, they owe it to them also to minister to them the Jews in worldly goods. 28 When, therefore, I have settled this, and have secured to them the poor at Jerusalem the fruit of this collection, I shall come on by you into Spain. 29 And I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of Christ.
30 Brothers, I beseech you, by Jesus Christ our Lord, and by the love which the Spirit gives, to help me in my struggle by your prayers to God on my behalf, 31 that I may be delivered from the disobedient in Judea; that my mission to Jerusalem may be favorably received by the saints; 32 and that I may come to you in joy, by the will of God, and find rest together with you. 33 The God of peace be with you all! Amen.
