Romans 15:22-29
22

23
But now, since there is no longer a place in these regions that needs me, and since I have wanted for many years to come to you,
24
I hope to see you as I pass through on my way to Spain, and to have you help me travel there after I have enjoyed your company awhile.
25

28

29
and I know that when I come to you, it will be with the full measure of the Messiah’s blessings.
