20. And so I have preached this Gospel, not where Christ was known by name, lest I build upon the foundation of another,
21. but just as it was written: "Those to whom he was not announced shall perceive, and those who have not heard shall understand."
22. Because of this also, I was greatly hindered in coming to you, and I have been prevented until the present time.
23. Yet truly now, having no other destination in these regions, and having already had a great desire to come to you over the past many years,
24. when I begin to set out on my journey to Spain, I hope that, as I pass by, I may see you, and I may be guided from there by you, after first having borne some fruit among you.
25. But next I will set out for Jerusalem, to minister to the saints.
26. For those of Macedonia and Achaia have decided to make a collection for those of the poor among the saints who are at Jerusalem.
27. And this has pleased them, because they are in their debt. For, since the Gentiles have become partakers of their spiritual things, they also ought to minister to them in worldly things.
