for God's good pleasure] in my service to God. (Romans, 15:17)

Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one anoth-

the saints [those who devote themselves to God] there. For
Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a contribution

completed this task and have made sure that they have re-

ceived this fruit, I will go to Spain and visit you on the way...
(Romans, 15:25-29)

them, so that the church can help those widows who are really
in need. (1 Timothy, 5:16)

them any time you want. But you will not always have me.
