Romans:15:23-33

*
But now ,
having no more place in these parts ,
and having for many years a strong desire to come to you ,
*
whensoever I go toward Spain ,
I hope ,
as I pass on ,
to see you ,
and to be brought on my way thither by you ,
when I shall first ,
in some measure ,
be satisfied with your company .
*
But now I go to Jerusalem ,
ministering to the saints ;
*
for Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make some contribution for the poor of the saints who are in Jerusalem .
*
They have been pleased ,
indeed ;
and their debtors they are :
for if the Gentiles have partaken of their spiritual things ,
they ought certainly to minister to them in temporal things .
*
Wherefore ,
having finished this affair ,
and having sealed to them this fruit ,
I will go from thence by you into Spain .
*
And I know when I come to you ,
I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ .
*
Now ,
I beseech you ,
brethren ,
by the Lord Jesus Christ ,
and by the love of the Spirit ,
that you strive together with me ,
by prayers for me to God ;
*
that I may be delivered from the disobedient in Judea ;
and that my service ,
which I am performing for Jerusalem ,
may be acceptable to the saints :
*
that in joy I may come to you ,
through the will of God ,
and may be refreshed among you .
*
Now may the God of peace be with you all .
Amen .
