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.

For I do not understand what I do, for I do not do this that I want, but what I hate, this I do.

But if I do this that I do not want, I agree with the law that it is good.

For I do not do good that I want, instead, wrong that I do not want, this I do.

But if I do this that I do not want, I no longer perform it, but sin dwelling in me.

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.

For your obedience reached to all men. Therefore I rejoice over you, but I want you to be indeed wise in the good and pure in the evil.
