Charles Ellicott Commentary Romans 15:25

"but now, I [say], I go unto Jerusalem, ministering unto the saints." — Romans 15:25 (ASV)

But now.—Before very long, I hope to pay you this visit, but for the present I am bound for Jerusalem, in the service of the Church, to convey the alms collected in Macedonia and Achaia for the poorer members of that community. In reference to this contribution, compare to Acts 24:17; 1 Corinthians 16:1 and following; 2 Corinthians 8:1–2; 2 Corinthians 9:1 and following.
