As we near the final chapter of this lengthy letter Paul mentions how satisfied he is with the believers' while reminding them (and us) of "some points". Then he expresses his desire to visit them and afterwards head to Spain. He explains the reason for the delay was preaching all around where Christ had never been heard of. Since he was done, he was going to deliver some much needed aid from Macedonia and Achaia to the saints in Jerusalem. Knowing that he has deadly enemies, he asks for "striving in prayer" together for him. The chapter ends with a short prayer for the Roman believers.
