Paul's Plan to Visit Rome

23 But now that there is no more place for me to work in these regions, and since I have been longing for many years to see you,² 24 I plan to do so when I go to Spain.³ I hope to visit you while passing through and to have you assist⁴ me on my journey there, after I have enjoyed your company for a while. 25 Now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem⁵ in the service⁶ of the saints⁷ there. 26 For Macedonia⁸ and Achaia⁹ were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.¹⁰ 27 They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in the Jews' spiritual blessings, they owe it to the Jews to share with them their material blessings.¹¹ 28 So after I have completed this task and have made sure that they have received this fruit, I will go to Spain¹² and visit you on the way. 29 I know that when I come to you,¹³ I will come in the full measure of the blessing of Christ.
