And I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you (and was hindered hitherto), that I might have some fruit in you also, even as in the rest of the Gentiles.

What then? that which Israel seeketh for, that he obtained not; but the election obtained it, and the rest were hardened:

that I may come unto you in joy through the will of God, and together with you find rest.
