[Instrumental]

[Verse]
That is why I have
so often been prevented from coming to you.
But now, since I no longer
have any opportunity in these regions
and since I have desired to come
to you for many years,
I hope to see you in passing as I go
to Spain and to be sent
on my way there by you,
after I have enjoyed being with you for a time.
Now, however, I am going to Jerusalem to minister
to the holy ones.
For Macedonia and Achaia have decided to make some contribution
for the poor among the holy ones in Jerusalem;
they decided to do it,
and in fact they are indebted to them,
for if the Gentiles have come to share
in their spiritual blessings,
they ought also to serve them in material blessings.
So when I have completed
this and safely handed over this contribution to them,
I shall set out by way of you to Spain;
and I know
that in coming to you I shall come
in the fullness of Christ’s blessing.

[Chorus]
so that I may come
to you with joy by the will of God
and be refreshed together with you.
The God of peace be with all of you. Amen.
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
I urge you, (brothers,) by our Lord Jesus Christ
and by the love of the Spirit,
to join me in the struggle by your prayers
to God on my behalf,
that I may be delivered from the disobedient in Judea,
and that my ministry
for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the holy ones,

[Chorus]
so that I may come
to you with joy by the will of God
and be refreshed together with you.
The God of peace be with all of you. Amen.
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
I commend to you Phoebe our sister,
who is (also) a minister of the church at Cenchreae,
that you may receive her in the Lord
in a manner worthy of the holy ones,
and help her in whatever she may need from you,
for she has been a benefactor to many
and to me as well.

[Chorus]
so that I may come
to you with joy by the will of God
and be refreshed together with you.
The God of peace be with all of you. Amen.
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
Greet Prisca and Aquila, my co-workers in Christ Jesus,
who risked their necks for my life,
to whom not only I am grateful
but also all the churches of the Gentiles;
greet also the church at their house.
Greet my beloved Epaenetus,
who was the firstfruits in Asia for Christ.
Greet Mary, who has worked hard for you.
Greet Andronicus and Junia, my relatives and my fellow prisoners;
they are prominent among the apostles
and they were in Christ before me.
Greet Ampliatus, my beloved in the Lord.
Greet Urbanus, our co-worker in Christ, and my beloved Stachys.
Greet Apelles, who is approved in Christ.
Greet those who belong to the family of Aristobulus.
Greet my relative Herodion.
Greet those in the Lord
who belong to the family of Narcissus.
Greet those workers in the Lord, Tryphaena and Tryphosa.
Greet the beloved Persis,
who has worked hard in the Lord.
Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord,
and his mother and mine.
Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas,
and the brothers who are with them.
Greet Philologus, Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas,
and all the holy ones who are with them.
Greet one another with a holy kiss.
All the churches of Christ greet you.
