Romans 15:22-33 - Paul's Travel Plans
22 This is the reason why I have so often been prevented from coming to see you. 23 But now, as there are no more places for me to occupy in this part of the world, and as I have for many years been longing to come to see you, 24 when I make my trip to Spain, I certainly hope to see you on my way there and to be helped forward by you, after I have enjoyed being with you awhile. 25 But just now I am on my way to Jerusalem to help God's people. 26 For Macedonia and Greece were delighted to make a contribution to the poor among God's people in Jerusalem. 27 They certainly were delighted to do it, and they really are under obligation to them, for if the heathen peoples have shared in their spiritual blessings, they ought to serve them in material blessings. 28 So, after I have finished this matter and made sure of the results of this contribution for them, I shall come by you on my way to Spain. 29 And I feel sure that when I do come to you, I shall come with Christ's abundant blessing on me.
30 Now I beg you, brothers, for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love that the Spirit inspires, to wrestle with me in prayers to God on my behalf, 31 that I may be delivered from those in Judea who are disobedient, and that the help which I am taking to Jerusalem may be well received by God's people there, 32 so that, if it is God's will, I may come with a happy heart to see you and have a refreshing rest while with you. 33 The peace-giving God be with you all! Amen.
