Romans 15:25-31

New Life Version

²⁵ But now I am going to Jerusalem to hand the Christians the gift of money. ²⁶ The churches in the countries of Macedonia and Greece have decided to give money to help some of the poor Christians in Jerusalem. ²⁷ They wanted to do it. They should help them in this way because they owe much to the Christians in Jerusalem. The Jews shared the Good News with the people who are not Jews. For this reason, they should share what they can with the Jews. ²⁸ I will hand this gift of money to them. Then I will stop to see you on my way to the country of Spain. ²⁹ I know that when I come to you, Christ will give me much good to share with you.

³⁰ I ask you from my heart, Christian brothers, to pray much for me. I ask this in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. ³¹ Pray that God will keep me safe from the people in the country of Judea who are not Christians. Pray also that the work I am to do for the Christians in Jerusalem will help them.
