¹⁹ but I will come quickly unto you, if the Lord may will, and I will know not the word of those puffed up, but the power;

²¹ And when these things were fulfilled, Paul purposed in the Spirit, having gone through Macedonia and Achaia, to go on to Jerusalem, saying -- `After my being there, it behoveth me also to see Rome;'

²¹ but took leave of them, saying, `It behoveth me by all means the coming feast to keep at Jerusalem, and again I will return unto you -- God willing.' And he sailed from Ephesus,

¹⁵ instead of your saying, `If the Lord may will, we shall live, and do this or that;'

³ and this we will do, if God may permit,

¹ This third time do I come unto you; on the mouth of two witnesses or three shall every saying be established;

² I have said before, and I say `it' before, as being present, the second time, and being absent, now, do I write to those having sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again, I will not spare,
