20. And I have so preached this gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation.

28. When therefore I shall have accomplished this, and consigned to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.
29. And I know, that when I come to you, I shall come in the abundance of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.
30. I beseech you therefore, brethren, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the charity of the Holy Ghost, that you help me in your prayers for me to God,
