Now I am on my way to Jerusalem to serve the Lord’s people there.

但现在，我往耶路撒冷去供给圣徒。

但如今我要到耶路撒冷去，供应圣徒的需要。

但如今我要到耶路撒冷去，供应圣徒的需要。

但现在我要去耶路撒冷服侍当地的圣徒，

不过，我现在为了供应圣徒的事要往耶路撒冷去；

但如今，我要到耶路撒冷去服事圣徒，

但現在，我往耶路撒冷去供給聖徒。

但如今我要到耶路撒冷去，供應聖徒的需要。

但如今我要到耶路撒冷去，供應聖徒的需要。

但現在我要去耶路撒冷服侍當地的聖徒，

不過，我現在為了供應聖徒的事要往耶路撒冷去；

不過如今我先要往耶路撒冷去、供應聖徒的需要。

但如今，我要到耶路撒冷去服事聖徒，

今我往耶路撒冷供給聖徒、

今我赴耶路撒冷、供聖徒之乏、

今我往耶路撒冷、供聖徒之缺乏、

惟目前吾須先赴耶路撒冷一行、以賑濟諸聖徒。

Now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem in the service of the Lord’s people there.

At present, however, I am going to Jerusalem bringing aid to the saints.

But before I come, I must go to Jerusalem to take a gift to the believers there.

Right now I am traveling to Jerusalem to serve the saints,

but now, I am going to Jerusalem, serving the saints.

But now I am going to Jerusalem to minister to the saints.

but now, I say, I go unto Jerusalem, ministering unto the saints.

Right now I am traveling to Jerusalem to serve the saints,

After all this had happened, Paul decided to go to Jerusalem. He went through Macedonia and Achaia.“ After I have been to Jerusalem,” he said,“ I must visit Rome also.”

“ I was away for several years. Then I came to Jerusalem to bring my people gifts for those who were poor. I also came to offer sacrifices.

“ Now I am going to Jerusalem. The Holy Spirit compels me. I don’t know what will happen to me there.

Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus. He didn’t want to spend time in Asia Minor. He was in a hurry to get to Jerusalem. If he could, he wanted to be there by the day of Pentecost.

They asked only one thing. They wanted us to continue to remember poor people. That was what I had wanted to do all along.

As he left, he made them a promise.“ If God wants me to,” he said,“ I will come back.” Then he sailed from Ephesus.

Now I want to deal with the offering of money for the Lord’s people. Do what I told the churches in Galatia to do.On the first day of every week, each of you should put some money away. The amount should be in keeping with how much money you make. Save the money so that you won’t have to take up an offering when I come.When I arrive, I will send some people with your gift to Jerusalem. They will be people you consider to be good. And I will give them letters that explain who they are.

The believers in Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to take an offering. It was for those who were poor among the Lord’s people in Jerusalem.They were happy to do it. And of course they owe it to them. The Gentiles have shared in the Jews’ spiritual blessings. So the Gentiles should share their earthly blessings with the Jews.I want to finish my task. I want to make sure that the poor in Jerusalem have received this offering. Then I will go to Spain. On my way I will visit you.I know that when I come to you, I will come with the full blessing of Christ.Brothers and sisters, I ask you to join me in my struggle. Join me by praying to God for me. I ask this through the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ. Pray for me with the love the Holy Spirit provides.Pray that I will be kept safe from those in Judea who do not believe. I am taking the offering to Jerusalem. Pray that it will be welcomed by the Lord’s people there.
