25But now I am going to Jerusalem, ministering to the saints.

26For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.

27For they were pleased to do it, and they are indebted to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they also owe it to minister to them in material things.

28Therefore, when I have completed this and have sealed this fruit to them, I will go on by way of you to Spain.

29And I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Messiah.
