22. This is why I was often hindered from coming to you.
23. But now, no longer having a place in these parts, and having a longing to come to you for many years,
24. I shall come to you when I go to Spain. For I expect to see you on my journey, and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company.
25. But now I am going to Yerushalayim to serve the set-apart ones.
26. For it pleased those from Makedonia and Achaia to make some contribution for the poor among the set-apart ones who are in Yerushalayim.
27. For they were pleased, and they are their debtors. For if the gentiles have shared in their spiritual matters, their duty is also to serve them in material matters.
28. Having completed this, then, and having put my seal on this fruit of theirs, I shall return through you to Spain.
