19:21 Now after all these things had taken place, 11 Paul resolved 12 to go to Jerusalem, 13 passing through Macedonia 14 and Achaia. 15 He said, 16 “After I have been there, I must also see Rome.” 17
23:11 The following night the Lord 18 stood near 19 Paul 20 and said, “Have courage, 21 for just as you have testified about me in Jerusalem, 22 so you must also testify in Rome.” 23
1:8 First of all, 27 I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world. 1:9 For God, whom I serve in my spirit by preaching the gospel 28 of his Son, is my witness that 29 I continually remember you 1:10 and I always ask 30 in my prayers, if perhaps now at last I may succeed in visiting you according to the will of God. 31 1:11 For I long to see you, so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift 32 to strengthen you, 1:12 that is, that we may be mutually comforted by one another’s faith, 33 both yours and mine. 1:13 I do not want you to be unaware, 34 brothers and sisters, 35 that I often intended to come to you (and was prevented until now), so that I may have some fruit even among you, just as I already have among the rest of the Gentiles. 36 1:14 I am a debtor 37 both to the Greeks and to the barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish. 1:15 Thus I am eager 38 also to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome. 39
15:22 This is the reason I was often hindered from coming to you. 15:23 But now there is nothing more to keep me 40 in these regions, and I have for many years desired 41 to come to you 15:24 when I go to Spain. For I hope to visit you when I pass through and that you will help me 42 on my journey there, after I have enjoyed your company for a while.
15:25 But now I go to Jerusalem to minister to the saints. 15:26 For Macedonia and Achaia are pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem. 15:27 For they were pleased to do this, and indeed they are indebted to the Jerusalem saints. 43 For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they are obligated also to minister to them in material things. 15:28 Therefore after I have completed this and have safely delivered this bounty to them, 44 I will set out for Spain by way of you, 15:29 and I know that when I come to you I will come in the fullness of Christ’s blessing.
