21. but just as it is written, “Those to whom it was not announced concerning him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.”
22. For this reason also I was hindered many times from coming to you,
23. and now, no longer having a place in these regions, but having a desire for many years to come to you
24. whenever I travel to Spain. For I hope while I am passing through to see you and to be sent on my way by you, whenever I have first enjoyed your company for a while.
25. But now I am traveling to Jerusalem, serving the saints.
26. For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.
27. For they were pleased to do so, and they are obligated to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they ought also to serve them in material things.
28. Therefore, after I have accomplished this and sealed this fruit for delivery to them, I will depart by way of you for Spain,
29. and I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.
30. Now I exhort you, brothers, through our Lord Jesus Christ and through the love of the Spirit, to contend along with me in your prayers on my behalf to God,
31. that I may be rescued from those who are disobedient in Judea, and my ministry in Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,
