^{22 Ref} Wherefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you:

^{23 Ref} but now, having no more any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come unto you,

^{24 Ref} whensoever I go unto Spain (for I hope to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first in some measure I shall have been satisfied with your company)--

^{25 Ref} but now, I `say', I go unto Jerusalem, ministering unto the saints.

^{26 Ref} For it hath been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints that are at Jerusalem.

^{27 Ref} Yea, it hath been their good pleasure; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it `to them' also to minister unto them in carnal things.

^{28 Ref} When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by you unto Spain.
