praying, if by any means I shall be prospered in the will of God to come to you.

But I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that frequently I purposed to come to you, and was hindered hitherto, in order that I may have some fruit among you, as well as also among other Gentiles.

are we not indeed thus traduced, and as some say we speak, that, Let us do evil in order that good may come? whose condemnation is just.

for all sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Then does this blessedness come on the circumcision, or on the uncircumcision? for we say That faith was imputed to Abraham for righteousness.

Therefore, as by one man sin came into the world, and death by sin; and thus death came upon all men, in that all sinned;

but death reigned from Adam unto Moses, even on those who did not sin after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the type of him who is to come.

Therefore then, as by the transgression of one, judgment came to all men to condemnation; so also through the righteousness of one, the free gift came on all men unto the justification of life:

But the law came, that the transgression might abound; but where sin did abound, there did grace superabound:

Then I say; Whether did they stumble that they may fall? it could not be so: but by their fall, salvation came to the Gentiles, in order to provoke them to jealousy.

I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, as to this mystery, in order that you may not he wise with yourselves, that blindness in part has happened unto Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles may come in;

and so all Israel shall be saved: as has been written, A leader shall come out of Zion, shall turn ungodliness from Jacob.

but now, no longer having a place in these regions, and having an earnest longing for many years to come to you,

but I know that coming unto you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.

in order that having come to you in joy through the will of God, and together with you find rest.

For your obedience has come abroad unto all men: therefore I rejoice over you, and wish you to be wise in that which is good, and uncompromising towards that which is evil.
