*
But now having no more opportunity in these regions ,
and having had for many years a great desire to come to you ,
*
when I go to Spain ,
I will come to you ;
for I hope to see you on my way ,
and to be helped forward thither by you ,
after I have in some degree satisfied myself with your company .
*
But now I am going to Jerusalem on a service of relief to the saints .
*
For Macedonia and Achaia have thought it good to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem .
*
They have thought it good ,
and they owed it to them .
For if the gentiles have shared in their spiritual things ,
they ought in return to minister to them in temporal things .
*
When therefore I have completed this business ,
and secured to them this fruit ,
I shall set out to pass through you to Spain .
*
And I know that when I come to you ,
I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ .
*
But I beseech you ,
by our Lord Jesus Christ ,
and by the love produced by the Spirit ,
that ye strive together with me in prayers to God for me ;
*
that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judaea ,
and that my service for Jerusalem may prove acceptable to the saints ;
*
so that ,
through the will of God ,
I may come to you in joy ,
and may with you be refreshed .
*
And may the God of peace be with you all .
Amen .
