Romans 15:22-29
Legacy Standard Bible
22 For this reason (A)I have often been prevented from coming to you; 23 but now, with no further place for me in these regions, and since I (B)have had for many years a longing to come to you 24 whenever I (C)go to Spain—for I hope, passing through, to see you, and to be (D)helped on my way there by you, when I have first (E)enjoyed your company [a]for a while. 25 But now (F)I am going to Jerusalem to (G)serve the [b]saints. 26 For (H)Macedonia and (I)Achaia were pleased to [c]share with the poor among the saints in Jerusalem. 27 Yes, they were pleased to do so, and they are indebted to them. For (J)if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they are indebted to minister to them also in material things. 28 Therefore, when I have completed this and (K)have [d]put my seal on this fruit of theirs, I will (L)go on by way of you to Spain. 29 And I know that when (M)I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.

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 regions,[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 because Macedonia(G) and Achaia(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 them in material needs. 28 So when I have finished this and safely delivered the funds[c] to them,[d](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.
