Romans 15:22-29
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Paul’s Travel Plans
22 That is why I have been prevented many times from coming to you.(A) 23 But now I no longer have any work to do in these provinces,[a] and I have strongly desired for many years to come to you(B) 24 whenever I travel to Spain.[b] For I hope to see you when I pass through, and to be assisted by you for my journey there,(C) once I have first enjoyed your company(D) for a while. 25 Right now I am traveling to Jerusalem(E) to serve the saints,(F) 26 for Macedonia(G) and Achaia[c](H) were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem. 27 Yes, they were pleased, and indeed are indebted to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual benefits,(I) then they are obligated to minister to Jews in material needs. 28 So when I have finished this and safely delivered the funds[d] to them,(J) I will visit you on the way to Spain. 29 I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing[e] of Christ.
