21. I have been following the plan spoken of in the Scriptures, where it says, “Those who have never been told about him will see,and those who have never heard of him will understand.”
22. In fact, my visit to you has been delayed so long because I have been preaching in these places.
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 there.
