21On the contrary, I teach non-Jews, so that what happens may be like what was written {the prophet Isaiah wrote} in the Scriptures about the Messiah: “Those who did not hear about him previously will know the truth about him. Truly, those who have not heard about him will hear and understand his message DOU.”
22Because I have attempted to preach the message about Christ in places where they have not heard about him, I have been hindered {things have hindered me} many times from being able to visit you.
23But now there are no more places in these regions where people have not heard about Christ. Furthermore, for several years I have wanted to visit you.
24So I hope to go/come to see you. I hope to do that as soon as I am on my way to the provinces in Spain. I hope to see you as I journey through your area, and I hope that by whatever you give me EUP you will help me on my journey to Spain. But before I go there, I want to enjoy being with you for a little while, although I would like to stay with you longer.
25But I cannot visit you now, because I am about to go to Jerusalem in order to take money EUP for God's people there.
26The believers in Macedonia and Achaia provinces MTY decided to contribute some money EUP for those of God's people in Jerusalem who are poor.
27They themselves decided to do this, but truly they owe something to God's people in Jerusalem. The non-Jewish believers benefited spiritually from Jewish believers as a result of hearing the message about Christ from them, so the non-Jews should also help the Jewish believers in Jerusalem by giving them material things (OR, money) EUP.
