26 For (A)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 (B)if the Gentiles have been partakers of their spiritual things, (C)their duty is also to minister to them in material things. 28 Therefore, when I have performed this and have sealed to them (D)this fruit, I shall go by way of you to Spain. 29 (E)But I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing [a]of the gospel of Christ.

30 Now I beg you, brethren, through the Lord Jesus Christ, and (F)through the love of the Spirit, (G)that you strive together with me in prayers to God for me, 31 (H)that I may be delivered from those in Judea who [b]do not believe, and that (I)my service for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,

26 For Macedonia(A) and Achaia(B) were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the Lord’s people in Jerusalem.(C) 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.(D) 28 So after I have completed this task and have made sure that they have received this contribution, I will go to Spain(E) and visit you on the way. 29 I know that when I come to you,(F) I will come in the full measure of the blessing of Christ.

30 I urge you, brothers and sisters, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit,(G) to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.(H) 31 Pray that I may be kept safe(I) from the unbelievers in Judea and that the contribution(J) I take to Jerusalem may be favorably received by the Lord’s people(K) there,
