Romans 15:22-29
New King James Version
Plan to Visit Rome
22 For this reason (A)I also have been much hindered from coming to you. 23 But now no longer having a place in these parts, and (B)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, (C)and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may (D)enjoy your company for a while. 25 But now (E)I am going to Jerusalem to [b]minister to the saints. 26 For (F)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 (G)if the Gentiles have been partakers of their spiritual things, (H)their duty is also to minister to them in material things. 28 Therefore, when I have performed this and have sealed to them (I)this fruit, I shall go by way of you to Spain. 29 (J)But I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing [c]of the gospel of Christ.

Romans 15:22-29
American Standard Version
22 Wherefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you: 23 but now, having no more any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come unto you, 24 whensoever I go unto Spain (for I hope to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first in some measure I shall have been satisfied with your company)— 25 but now, I say, I go unto Jerusalem, ministering unto the saints. 26 For it hath been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints that are at Jerusalem. 27 Yea, it hath been their good pleasure; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it to them also to minister unto them in carnal things. 28 When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by you unto Spain. 29 And I know that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of Christ.
