20 Making it my purpose not to take the good news where Christ was named, so that my work might not be resting on that of others;
21 But as it is said in the holy Writings, They will see, to whom the news of him had not been given, and those to whose ears it had not come will have knowledge.
22 For which reason I was frequently kept from coming to you:
23 But now, having no longer any place in these parts and having had for a number of years a great desire to come to you,
24 Whenever I go to Spain (for it is my hope to see you on my way, and to be sent on there by you, if first I may in some measure have been comforted by your company)--
25 But now I go to Jerusalem, taking help for the saints.
26 For it has been the good pleasure of those of Macedonia and Achaia to send a certain amount of money for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem.
