For I long to see you, That I might impart to you some spiritual grace, in order for you to be firm;

And I would not ye should be ignorant, brethren, that many times I proposed to come to you, (and I was hindered till this time,) that I might have some fruit also in you, and in the rest of the nations.

For what if some disbelieved? their unbelief will not leave inactive the faith of God.

And not, (as we are defamed, and some have declared us to say,) That we should do evil things, that good things might come: whose judgment is just.

For scarcely for the just will any one die: yet for the good perhaps some also would venture to die.

If in some way I might make jealous my flesh, and I might save some of them.)
