23
But now no longer having a place in these parts, and d having a great desire these many years to come to you,
24
whenever I journey to Spain, I shall come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, e and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may f enjoy your company for a while.

31
o that I may be delivered from those in Judea who do not believe, and that p my service for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,
32
q that I may come to you with joy r by the will of God, and may s be refreshed together with you.
33
Now t the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
