Now I don’t desire to have you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you, and was hindered so far, that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the rest of the Gentiles.

弟兄们，我不愿意你们不知道，我屡次定意往你们那里去，要在你们中间得些果子，如同在其余的外邦人中一样；只是到如今仍有阻隔。

弟兄们，我不愿意你们不知道，我屡次计划往你们那里去，要在你们中间得些果子，如同在其余的外邦人中一样，只是到如今仍有拦阻。

弟兄姊妹，我希望你们知道，我曾多次计划去你们那里，要在你们中间收获一些福音的果子，像在其他外族人中一样，只是至今仍有拦阻。

弟兄们，我不愿意你们不知道，我好几次预先定好了要到你们那里去，为了要在你们中间也得一些果子，像在其他的民族中间一样，可是直到现在还有阻碍。

弟兄们，我不愿意你们不明白：我多次计划到你们那里去，为要在你们那里也得一些果实，就像我在其他外邦人中那样，可是直到如今还受到拦阻。

弟兄們，我不願意你們不明白：我多次計劃到你們那裡去，為要在你們那裡也得一些果實，就像我在其他外邦人中那樣，可是直到如今還受到攔阻。

兄弟乎、我願爾知、我每立志就爾、欲於爾中得果、如在他邦然、但至今仍有所阻、

兄弟乎、余甚欲爾知、我每立志就爾、願於爾中結果、如在他邦、然至今猶有所阻、

I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that I planned many times to come to you( but have been prevented from doing so until now) in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.

Brothers and sisters, I want you to know that I planned many times to visit you. But until now I have been kept from coming. My work has produced results among the other Gentiles. In the same way, I want to see results among you.

I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that I have often intended to come to you( but thus far have been prevented), in order that I may reap some harvest among you as well as among the rest of the Gentiles.

I want you to know, dear brothers and sisters, that I planned many times to visit you, but I was prevented until now. I want to work among you and see spiritual fruit, just as I have seen among other Gentiles.

Now I don’t want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that I often planned to come to you( but was prevented until now) in order that I might have a fruitful ministry among you, just as I have had among the rest of the Gentiles.

I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that often I have planned to come to you( and have been prevented so far) so that I may obtain some fruit among you also just as among the rest of the Gentiles.

Now I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that I often planned to come to you( but was hindered until now), that I might have some fruit among you also, just as among the other Gentiles.

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.

Now I want you to know, brothers, that I often planned to come to you( but was prevented until now) in order that I might have a fruitful ministry among you, just as among the rest of the Gentiles.

Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you,( but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that I often intended to come to you( and was prevented until now), so that I may have some fruit even among you, just as I already have among the rest of the Gentiles.

Now after these things had ended, Paul determined in the Spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying,“ After I have been there, I must also see Rome.”

Not that I seek for the gift, but I seek for the fruit that increases to your account.

For I don’t desire you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you won’t be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in,

But we don’t want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you don’t grieve like the rest, who have no hope.

which has come to you, even as it is in all the world and is bearing fruit and growing, as it does in you also, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth,

Now I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

For we don’t desire to have you uninformed, brothers, concerning our affliction which happened to us in Asia, that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life.

Now concerning spiritual things, brothers, I don’t want you to be ignorant.

But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear. So I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

because we wanted to come to you— indeed, I, Paul, once and again— but Satan hindered us.

You didn’t choose me, but I chose you and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

He who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit to eternal life; that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.

When they had arrived, and had gathered the assembly together, they reported all the things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations.

Therefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you,but now, no longer having any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come to you,whenever I travel to Spain, I will come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may enjoy your company for a while.But now, I say, I am going to Jerusalem, serving the saints.For it has been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are at Jerusalem.Yes, it has been their good pleasure, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it to them also to serve them in fleshly things.When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by way of you to Spain.

If to others I am not an apostle, yet at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

Now thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and reveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge in every place.

In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit,and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be sent forward by you on my journey to Judea.

In days to come, Jacob will take root. Israel will blossom and bud. They will fill the surface of the world with fruit.

For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you who believe.For you, brothers, became imitators of the assemblies of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus; for you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews

Most certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.

All the multitude kept silence, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them.

For I will not dare to speak of any things except those which Christ worked through me, for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of God’s Spirit; so that from Jerusalem, and around as far as to Illyricum, I have fully preached the Good News of Christ;yes, making it my aim to preach the Good News, not where Christ was already named, that I might not build on another’s foundation.

When they had gone through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit didn’t allow them.

For from you the word of the Lord has been declared, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God has gone out, so that we need not to say anything.For they themselves report concerning us what kind of a reception we had from you, and how you turned to God from idols, to serve a living and true God,and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead: Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.

But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach even to you.For we don’t stretch ourselves too much, as though we didn’t reach to you. For we came even as far as to you with the Good News of Christ,not boasting beyond proper limits in other men’s labors, but having hope that as your faith grows, we will be abundantly enlarged by you in our sphere of influence,so as to preach the Good News even to the parts beyond you, not to boast in what someone else has already done.

For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way.

When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked among the Gentiles through his ministry.
