through whom we have received grace and apostleship for the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles on behalf of his name,

Now I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, that often I intended to come to you, and was prevented until now, in order that I might have some fruit among you also, just as also among the rest of the Gentiles.
