* But now , since I have no more any "opening " in these parts , and since I have longed for many years to come to you * whenever I go to Spain , I am hoping to see you on my way there , and to be set forward by you on my way there , and to be set forward by you on my journey thither , after I have enjoyed your company for a little while . * Just now I am going to Jerusalem to serve the saints . * For it has been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make an offering for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem . * Yes , it has been made their good pleasure , and their debt , too . For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual riches , they owe it to them also to minister to them the Jews in worldly goods . * When , therefore , I have settled this , and have secured to them the poor at Jerusalem the fruit of this collection , I shall come on by you into Spain . * And I know that when I come to you , I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of Christ . * Brothers , I beseech you , by Jesus Christ our Lord , and by the love which the Spirit gives , to help me in my struggle by your prayers to God on my behalf , * that I may be delivered from the disobedient in Judea ; that my mission to Jerusalem may be favorably received by the saints ; * and that I may come to you in joy , by the will of God , and find rest together with you . * The God of peace be with you all ! Amen .
