²⁴ But I have faith in the Lord that I myself will come before long.

²² And make a room ready for me; for I am hoping that through your prayers I will be given to you.

²⁸ So when I have done this, and have given them this fruit of love, I will go on by you into Spain.

²⁹ And I am certain that when I come, I will be full of the blessing of Christ.

²⁵ And being certain of this, I am conscious that I will go on, yes, and go on with you all, for your growth and joy in the faith;

²⁶ So that your pride in me may be increased in Christ Jesus through my being present with you again.

¹⁹ But I am hoping in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you before long, so that I may be comforted when I have news of you.

¹² Having much to say to you, it is not my purpose to put it all down with paper and ink: but I am hoping to come to you, and to have talk with you face to face, so that your joy may be full.

¹⁴ But I am hoping to see you in a short time, and to have talk with you face to face.
