Romans 15:22-33 - Paul's Travel Plans
22 This is why I have been so often prevented from visiting you. 23 But now, as I have no further scope for work in these parts, and as for a number of years I have had a longing to visit you 24 whenever I went to Spain, I am hoping to see you on my way there, and to be sped forward by you after I have enjoyed your company for a while. 25 At the moment I am off to Jerusalem on an errand to the saints. 26 For Macedonia and Achaia have decided to make a contribution for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem. 27 Such was their decision; and yet this is a debt they owe to these people, for if the Gentiles have shared their spiritual blessings, they owe them a debt of aid in material blessings. 28 Well, once I finish this business by putting the proceeds of the collection safely in their hands, I will start for Spain and take you on the way. 29 When I do come to you, I know I will bring a full blessing from Christ.
30 Brothers, I beg of you, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love that the Spirit inspires, rally round me by praying to God for me; 31 pray that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judaea, and also that my mission to Jerusalem may prove acceptable to the saints. 32 Then, by God's will, I shall gladly come to you and rest beside you. 33 The God of peace be with you all! Amen.
