Today’s Scripture:

23 But now I have finished my work in these regions, and after all these long years of waiting, I am eager to visit you. 24 I

am planning to go to Spain, and when I do, I will stop off in Rome. And

after I have enjoyed your fellowship for a little while, you can

provide for my journey.

25 But before I come, I must go to Jerusalem to take a gift to the believers[a] there. 26 For you see, the believers in Macedonia and Achaia[b] have eagerly taken up an offering for the poor among the believers in Jerusalem. 27 They

were glad to do this because they feel they owe a real debt to them.

Since the Gentiles received the spiritual blessings of the Good News

from the believers in Jerusalem, they feel the least they can do in

return is to help them financially. 28 As soon as I have delivered this money and completed this good deed of theirs, I will come to see you on my way to Spain. 29 And I am sure that when I come, Christ will richly bless our time together.

30 Dear

brothers and sisters, I urge you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ

to join in my struggle by praying to God for me. Do this because of your

love for me, given to you by the Holy Spirit. 31 Pray

that I will be rescued from those in Judea who refuse to obey God. Pray

also that the believers there will be willing to accept the donation[c] I am taking to Jerusalem. 32 Then, by the will of God, I will be able to come to you with a joyful heart, and we will be an encouragement to each other.

33 And now may God, who gives us his peace, be with you all. Amen.[d]
