pleading, if somehow now at last I will have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come to you.

But I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, that I often intended to come to you (and was prevented until now), so that I might have some fruit also among you, even as among the other Gentiles.

May it not happen! But let it come to pass God is true, but every man a liar, as it is written, That thou may ever be justified in thy words, and may prevail when thou are criticized.

and not (as we are slandered, and as some affirm us to say) that we may do evil so that good things may come (whose condemnation is just)?

For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God,

And I was alive once apart from law, but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor heavenly agents, nor principal positions, nor powers, nor things that have come, nor things that are coming,

For this is the word of promise: At this time I will come, and there will be a son by Sarah.

For I do not want you, brothers, to be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise according to yourselves, that a callousness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles come in.

And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written, The man who delivers will come from Zion, and will turn away impiety from Jacob.

But now, having no more place in these regions, and having a great desire from many years to come to you,

whenever I go to Spain I will come to you. For I hope to see you while passing through, and there to be helped on the way by you, if first I may be partly satisfied from you.

And I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of the good-news of the Christ.

so that I may come to you in joy through the will of God, and be rested with you.
