Romans 15:21-27

²¹but as it is written, For to whom it is not told of him, they shall see, and they that heard not, shall understand.

²²For which thing I was hindered full much to come to you, and I am hindered till to this time.

²³And now I have not further place, or cause of longer dwelling (there), in these countries (or in these regions), but I have (a) desire to come to you, of many years that now be passed.

²⁴When I begin to pass into Spain (or When I go forth to Spain), I hope that in my going I shall see you, and of you I shall be led thither, if I shall use you first in part.

²⁵Therefore now I shall pass forth to Jerusalem, to minister to (the) saints. (But now I shall go forth to Jerusalem, to serve God’s people.)

²⁶For Macedonia and Achaia have assayed to make some gift, or some collection, or (a) gathering of money, to (the) poor men of (the) saints, that be in Jerusalem. (For the churches in Macedonia and in Achaia have decided to make a gift of some money, for those of God’s people in Jerusalem who be poor.)

²⁷For it pleased to them, and they be debtors of them; for if heathen men be made partners of their ghostly things, they owe also in fleshly things to minister to them. (For it pleased them to do this, and they be their debtors; for if the Gentiles be made the partners of their spiritual things, then they, the Gentiles, ought also to serve them with fleshly things.)
