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

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

^{24 Ref} whenever I journey to Spain, I will come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may enjoy your company for a while.

^{25 Ref} But now, I say, I am going to Jerusalem, serving the saints.

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

^{27 Ref} Yes, it has been their good pleasure, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it to them also to serve them in fleshly things.

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

^{29 Ref} I know that, when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of the Gospel of Christ.
