Romans 15:22

20 In this way I have aspired to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation.

21 Rather, as it is written: “Those who were not told about Him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.”

That is why I have often been hindered from coming to you.

23 But now that there are no further opportunities for me in these regions, and since I have longed for many years to visit you,

24 I hope to see you on my way to Spain. And after I have enjoyed your company for a while, you can equip me for my journey.
