18 For we wanted to come to you—certainly I, Paul, did, again and again—but Satan blocked our way.

18 because we wanted to come to you—I, Paul, again and again—but Satan hindered us.

18 We wanted very much to come to you, and I, Paul, tried again and again, but Satan prevented us.

18 Therefore we wanted to come to you—even I, Paul, time and again—but Satan hindered us.

18 We wanted to come to you. I, Paul, tried to come more than once, but Satan stopped us.

18 because we would fain have come unto you, I Paul once and again; and Satan hindered us.

18 wherefore we have desired to come to you, even I Paul, both once and twice, and Satan has hindered us.

18 We wanted to visit you. I, Paul, wanted to visit you twice already, but Satan made that impossible. 

18 So we wanted to come to you—even I, Paul, time and again—but Satan hindered us.

18 For we wanted to come to you—certainly I, Paul, wanted to again and again—but Satan blocked our way.

18 because we wanted to come to you—I, Paul, on more than one occasion—and Satan hindered us.

18 We wanted to come to you. Again and again I, Paul, wanted to come. But Satan stopped us.

18 For we wanted to come to you—I, Paul, more than once—and yet Satan hindered us.
