Romans 15 : 15 (HCSB)

Nevertheless, to remind you, I have written to you more boldly on some points because of the grace given me by God

Romans 15 : 16 (HCSB)

to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, serving as a priest of God's good news. My purpose is that the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

For I would not dare say anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to make the Gentiles obedient by word and deed,

Romans 15 : 19 (HCSB)

Romans 15 : 20 (HCSB)

So my aim is to evangelize where Christ has not been named, in order that I will not be building on someone else's foundation,

Romans 15 : 22 (HCSB)

That is why I have been prevented many times from coming to you.

Romans 15 : 23 (HCSB)

But now I no longer have any work to do in these provinces, and I have strongly desired for many years to come to you

Romans 15 : 24 (HCSB)

whenever I travel to Spain. For I do hope to see you when I pass through, and to be sent on my way there by you, once I have first enjoyed your company for a while.

Romans 15 : 25 (HCSB)

Now, however, I am traveling to Jerusalem to serve the saints;

Romans 15 : 26 (HCSB)

for Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a contribution to the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.

Romans 15 : 27 (HCSB)

Yes, they were pleased, and they are indebted to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual benefits, then they are obligated to minister to Jews in material needs.

Romans 15 : 28 (HCSB)

So when I have finished this and safely delivered the funds to them, I will go by way of you to Spain.

that I may be rescued from the unbelievers in Judea, that my service for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,

Romans 15 : 32 (HCSB)

and that, by God's will, I may come to you with joy and be refreshed together with you.

Romans 15 : 33 (HCSB)

The God of peace be with all of you. Amen.
