Romans 15:25-31

New Catholic Bible

²⁵ Presently, however, I am going to Jerusalem to minister to the saints. ²⁶ For Macedonia and Achaia^[a] have resolved to make a contribution for the benefit of the poor among the saints in Jerusalem. ²⁷ They were pleased to do so, and indeed they are indebted to them, for if the Gentiles have come to share in their spiritual blessings, they owe it to them to share their material blessings with them.

²⁸ Therefore, when I have completed this task and have delivered the fruit of their generosity to them, I will set out for Spain and visit you along the way. ²⁹ And I am sure that when I come, I shall do so with the full measure of the blessing of Christ.

³⁰ Therefore, I exhort you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my labors by praying to God for me ³¹ that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea and that my service in Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints there.
