10. always in my prayers beseeching, if by any means now at length I shall have a prosperous journey, by the will of God, to come unto you,
11. for I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, that ye may be established;
12. and that is, that I may be comforted together among you, through the faith in one another, both yours and mine.
13. And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that many times I did purpose to come unto you--and was hindered till the present time--that some fruit I might have also among you, even as also among the other nations.
14. Both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to wise and to thoughtless, I am a debtor,
