38 but Paul did not think it wise to take him, because he had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not continued with them in the work.

38 But Paul thought best not to take with them one who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia and had not gone with them to the work.

38 But Paul disagreed strongly, since John Mark had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not continued with them in their work.

38 But Paul insisted that they should not take with them the one who had departed from them in Pamphylia, and had not gone with them to the work.

38 But Paul thought not good to take with them him who withdrew from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.

38 but Paul thought it not well to take with them him who had abandoned them, going back from Pamphylia, and had not gone with them to the work.

38 However, Paul didn’t think it was right to take a person like him along. John Mark had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not gone with them to work.

38 But Paul did not think it appropriate to take along this man who had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not gone on with them to the work.

38 But Paul decided not to take with them one who had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not accompanied them in the work.

38 but Paul held the opinion they should not take this one along, who departed from them in Pamphylia and did not accompany them in the work.

38 But Paul didn’t think it was wise to take him. Mark had deserted them in Pamphylia. He hadn’t continued with them in their work.

38 But Paul kept insisting that they should not take him along who had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not gone with them to the work.
