Bible verse
For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.
Romans 15:26 · BSB
The verses around it, from Romans 15.
22 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.
25 Now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem to serve the saints there.
26 For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.
27 They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual blessings, they are obligated to minister to them with material blessings.
28 So after I have completed this service and have safely delivered this bounty to them, I will set off to Spain by way of you.
29 I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.
30 Now I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.
