Christ Is Preached
12 But I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel, 13 so that it has become evident (A)to the whole [a]palace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains are in Christ; 14 and most of the brethren in the Lord, having become confident by my chains, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.

Or the things I plan, do I plan (D)according to the flesh, that with me there should be Yes, Yes, and No, No? 18 But as God is (E)faithful, our [a]word to you was not Yes and No.

23 But now no longer having a place in these parts, and (A)having a great desire these many years to come to you, 24 whenever I journey to Spain, [a]I shall come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, (B)and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may (C)enjoy your company for a while. 25 But now (D)I am going to Jerusalem to [b]minister to the saints. 26 For (E)it pleased those from Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are in Jerusalem. 27 It pleased them indeed, and they are their debtors. For (F)if the Gentiles have been partakers of their spiritual things, (G)their duty is also to minister to them in material things. 28 Therefore, when I have performed this and have sealed to them (H)this fruit, I shall go by way of you to Spain. 29 (I)But I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing [c]of the gospel of Christ.

12 Now when we heard these things, both we and those from that place pleaded with him not to go up to Jerusalem. 13 Then Paul answered, (B)“What do you mean by weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”
14 So when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, (C)“The will of the Lord be done.”

A (C)man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him, saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” 10 Now after he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go (D)to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them.
