20 For this reason I have asked to see you and talk with you. It is because of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain.”

20 For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.

20 I asked you to come here today so we could get acquainted and so I could explain to you that I am bound with this chain because I believe that the hope of Israel—the Messiah—has already come.”

20 For this reason therefore I have called for you, to see you and speak with you, because for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.”

20 That is why I wanted to see you and talk with you. I am bound with this chain because I believe in the hope of Israel.”

20 For this cause therefore did I entreat you to see and to speak with me: for because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.

20 For this cause therefore I have called you to me to see and to speak to you; for on account of the hope of Israel I have this chain about me.

20 That’s why I asked to see you and speak with you. I’m wearing these chains because of what Israel hopes for.” 

20 For this reason I’ve asked to see you and speak to you. In fact, it is for the hope of Israel that I’m wearing this chain.”

20 For this reason therefore I have asked to see you and speak with you, since it is for the sake of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain.”

20 Therefore for this reason I have requested to see you and to speak with you, for because of the hope of Israel I am wearing this chain!”

20 I share Israel’s hope. That is why I am held with this chain. So I have asked to see you and talk with you.”

20 “For this reason, therefore, I requested to see you and to speak with you, for I am wearing this chain for the sake of the hope of Israel.”
