21. But as it is written: They to whom he was not spoken of, shall see, and they that have not heard shall understand.
22. For which cause also I was hindered very much from coming to you, and have been kept away till now.
23. But now having no more place in these countries, and having a great desire these many years past to come unto you,
24. When I shall begin to take my journey into Spain, I hope that as I pass, I shall see you, and be brought on my way thither by you, if first, in part, I shall have enjoyed you:
25. But now I shall go to Jerusalem, to minister unto the saints.
26. For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a contribution for the poor of the saints that are in Jerusalem.
27. For it hath pleased them; and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they ought also in carnal things to minister to them.
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,
31. That I may be delivered from the unbelievers that are in Judea, and that the oblation of my service may be acceptable in Jerusalem to the saints.
