- For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you.
- But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto you;
- Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company.
- But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.
- For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.
|
- It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things.
- When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.
- And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.
- Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;
- That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;
|
- That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.
- Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
