20. My ambition has always been to proclaim the Good News in places where Christ has not been heard of, so as not to build on a foundation laid by someone else.
21. As the scripture says:“Those who were not told about him will see,and those who have not heard will understand.”
22. And so I have been prevented many times from coming to you.
23. But now that I have finished my work in these regions and since I have been wanting for so many years to come to see you,
24. I hope to do so now. I would like to see you on my way to Spain, and be helped by you to go there, after I have enjoyed visiting you for a while.
