but now, with no further place for me in these regions, and since I ^(C1)have had for many years a longing to come to you

whenever I ^(C1)go to Spain—for I hope to see you in passing, and to be ^(C2)helped on my way there by you, when I have first ^(C3)enjoyed your company ^(F1)for a while—

but now, ^(C1)I am going to Jerusalem, ^(C2)serving the ^(F1)saints.

For ^(C1)Macedonia and ^(C2)Achaia have been pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the ^(F1)saints in Jerusalem.

For they were pleased to do so, and they are indebted to them. For ^(C1)if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they are indebted to do them a service also in material things.

Therefore, when I have finished this, and ^(C1)have ^(F1)put my seal on this fruit of theirs, I will ^(C2)go on by way of you to Spain.

I know that when ^(C1)I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.

Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by ^(C1)the love of the Spirit, to ^(C2)strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,

that I may be ^(C1)rescued from those who are disobedient in Judea, and that my ^(C2)service for Jerusalem may prove acceptable to the ^(F1)(C3)saints;

so that ^(C1)I may come to you in joy by ^(C2)the will of God and relax in your company.

Now ^(C1)the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
