¹⁷ Now ^(A)after several years I ^(B)came to bring charitable gifts to my nation and to present offerings,

²⁵ but now, ^(A)I am going to Jerusalem, ^(B)serving the ^[a]saints. ²⁶ For ^(C)Macedonia and ^(D)Achaia have been pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the ^[b]saints in Jerusalem. ²⁷ For they were pleased to do so, and they are indebted to them. For ^(E)if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they are indebted to do them a service also in material things. ²⁸ Therefore, when I have finished this, and ^(F)have ^[c]put my seal on this fruit of theirs, I will ^(G)go on by way of you to Spain. ²⁹ I know that when ^(H)I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.

³⁰ Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by ^(I)the love of the Spirit, to ^(J)strive together with me in your prayers to God for me, ³¹ that I may be ^(K)rescued from those who are disobedient in Judea, and that my ^(L)service for Jerusalem may prove acceptable to the ^[d](M)saints; ³² so that ^(N)I may come to you in joy by ^(O)the will of God and relax in your company. ³³ Now ^(P)the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
