Romans 15:21-33

New American Standard Bible

²¹but just as it is written:

“^(A)They who have not been told about Him will see,
And they who have not heard will understand.”

²²For this reason ^(B)I have often been prevented from coming to you; ²³but now, with no further place for me in these regions, and since I ^(C)have had for many years a longing to come to you ²⁴whenever I ^(D)go to Spain—for I hope to see you in passing, and to be ^(E)helped on my way there by you, when I have first ^(F)enjoyed your company ^[a]for a while— ²⁵but now, ^(G)I am going to Jerusalem, ^(H)serving the ^[b]saints. ²⁶For ^(I)Macedonia and ^(J)Achaia have been pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the ^[c]saints in Jerusalem. ²⁷For they were pleased to do so, and they are indebted to them. For ^(K)if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they are indebted to do them a service also in material things. ²⁸Therefore, when I have finished this, and ^(L)have ^[d]put my seal on this fruit of theirs, I will ^(M)go on by way of you to Spain. ²⁹I know that when ^(N)I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.

³⁰Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by ^(O)the love of the Spirit, to ^(P)strive together with me in your prayers to God for me, ³¹that I may be ^(Q)rescued from those who are disobedient in Judea, and that my ^(R)service for Jerusalem may prove acceptable to the ^[e]^(S)saints; ³²so that ^(T)I may come to you in joy by ^(U)the will of God and relax in your company. ³³Now ^(V)the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
