I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee:

Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company.

Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.

For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.

But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.

But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.

Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.

With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?

These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;

And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
