This is the reason I was often hindered from coming to you.

and I always ask in my prayers, if perhaps now at last I may succeed in visiting you according to the will of God.

But now there is nothing more to keep me in these regions, and I have for many years desired to come to you

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.
