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.

Paul’s Plan to Visit Rome
23 But now that there is no more place for me to work in these regions, and since I have been longing for many years to visit you,(A) 24 I plan to do so when I go to Spain.(B) I hope to see you while passing through and to have you assist(C) me on my journey there, after I have enjoyed your company for a while. 25 Now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem(D) in the service(E) of the Lord’s people(F) there. 26 For Macedonia(G) and Achaia(H) were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the Lord’s people in Jerusalem.(I) 27 They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in the Jews’ spiritual blessings, they owe it to the Jews to share with them their material blessings.(J) 28 So after I have completed this task and have made sure that they have received this contribution, I will go to Spain(K) and visit you on the way. 29 I know that when I come to you,(L) I will come in the full measure of the blessing of Christ.
