English

But Paul wouldn’t have him; he wasn’t about to take along a quitter who, as soon as the going got tough, had jumped ship on them in Pamphylia.

But Paul thought best not to take with them one who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia and had not gone with them to the work.

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.

But Paul insisted that they should not take along this man who had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not gone on with them to the work.

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

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.

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