Romans 15:22-29

NLT

NIV

22 In fact, my visit to you has been delayed so long because I have been preaching in these places.
22 This is why I have often been hindered from coming to you.
23 But now I have finished my work in these regions, and after all these long years of waiting, I am eager to visit you.
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 visit you,
24 I am planning to go to Spain, and when I do, I will stop off in Rome. And after I have enjoyed your fellowship for a little while, you can provide for my journey.
24 I plan to do so when I go to Spain. I hope to see you while passing through and to have you assist me on my journey there, after I have enjoyed your company for a while.
25 But before I come, I must go to Jerusalem to take a gift to the believers there.
25 Now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem in the service of the Lord’s people there.
26 For you see, the believers in Macedonia and Achaia have eagerly taken up an offering for the poor among the believers in Jerusalem.
26 For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the Lord’s people in Jerusalem.
27 They were glad to do this because they feel they owe a real debt to them. Since the Gentiles received the spiritual blessings of the Good News from the believers in Jerusalem, they feel the least they can do in return is to help them financially.
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.
28 As soon as I have delivered this money and completed this good deed of theirs, I will come to see you on my way to Spain.
28 So after I have completed this task and have made sure that they have received this contribution, I will go to Spain and visit you on the way.
29 And I am sure that when I come, Christ will richly bless our time together.
29 I know that when I come to you, I will come in the full measure of the blessing of Christ.
