SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 15:22–33: Paul planned to visit Rome

In this section, Paul explained his plan to go to Spain and visit the believers in Rome on the way. He also explained that he was currently going to Jerusalem with a gift of money for the poor believers there from the believers in Macedonia and Achaia. Once he was finished with that, he planned to go to Spain.

Paul asked the believers in Rome to pray for him. Paul wanted to avoid being blocked in his ministry by Jews who did not believe in Jesus. He also asked them to pray that the gift he was taking to Jerusalem would be acceptable to the believers there. If it was, he would have joy and be able to enjoy his visit with the believers in Rome.

Here are other possible headings for this section:

Paul wanted to visit the believers in Rome on his way to Spain

Paul’s Plan to Visit Rome (NIV)

15:28a

So after I have completed this service

So, when I complete that deed
Therefore, I will finish doing that

So after: In many languages the word So must be first in the clause. For example:

Therefore, when (NASB)

this service: Here this word refers to taking the money to the poor believers in Jerusalem (15:25–26). For example:

this task (NIV)

In some languages “that” or “those things” would indicate the correct reference.

15:28b

and have safely delivered this bounty to them,

and give to them the guaranteed full amount,
and give to them all of the money I collect.

have safely delivered: The Greek word here is literally “having sealed.” It indicates that the full amount of the money was given to the believers in Jerusalem. Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

officially turned over (GW)

in full

this bounty: The Greek is literally “this fruit.” It refers to the money that Greek churches are sending to the poor believers in Jerusalem. Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

this harvest (NJB)

this contribution (NABRE)

this money (NLT)

15:28c

I will set off to Spain by way of you.

I will go to Spain and stop to visit you.
Then I will leave Jerusalem and visit you on my way to Spain.

I will set off to Spain by way of you: It is implied here that Paul would leave Jerusalem to go to Spain. The phrase by way of you indicates that Paul planned to stop in Rome on his way to Spain. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

I will go to Spain and visit you on the way (NIV)

I shall visit you on the way to Spain (NJB)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

τοῦτο

this

Here, this refers to Paul traveling to Jerusalem. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [this trip to Jerusalem]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

σφραγισάμενος αὐτοῖς τὸν καρπὸν τοῦτον

˓having˒_sealed ˱to˲_them (Some words not found in SR-GNT: τοῦτο Οὖν ἐπιτελέσας καί σφραγισάμενος αὐτοῖς τόν καρπόν τοῦτον ἀπελεύσομαι διʼ ὑμῶν εἰς Σπανίαν)

Paul speaks of the money he is taking to Jerusalem as if it were fruit, and he speaks of his delivery of the money as if he were sealing it for the poor believers in Jerusalem. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [having safely delivered this offering to them]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

δι’ ὑμῶν

by you_all

Paul uses you here to refer to the place where those people lived, which is Rome. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [through the area where you live] or [through where you are in Rome]

Note 4 topic: translate-names
