Pray that I may be rescued from the unbelievers in Judea, that the gift I am bringing to Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,and that, by God’s will, I may come to you with joy and be refreshed together with you.
always asking in my prayers that if it is somehow in God’s will, I may now at last succeed in coming to you.For I want very much to see you, so I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you,that is, to be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine.
