20. So I have strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, so that I should not build on another man’s foundation.
21. But as it is written: “To whom He was not announced, they shall see;and those who have not heard shall understand.”
22. For this reason also I was often hindered from coming to you.
23. But now, no longer having a place in these regions, and having a great desire for many years to come to you,
24. whenever I go to Spain, I shall come to you, for I hope to see you when I pass through and to be helped on my way there by you, when I have first enjoyed your company for a little while.
25. But now I am going to Jerusalem to minister to the saints.
26. For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints who are in Jerusalem.
