21 Rather, as it is written:

“Those who were not told about him will see,

and those who have not heard will understand.”

22 This is why I have often been hindered from coming to you.

23 But now that there is no more place for me to work in these regions, and since I have been longing for many years to visit you,

21 but as it is written,

“Those who have never been told of him will see,

and those who have never heard will understand.”

22 This is the reason why I have so often been hindered from coming to you. 23 But now, since I no longer have any room for work in these regions, and since I have longed for many years to come to you,

21 But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand. 22 For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you. 23 But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto you;

21 I have been following the plan spoken of in the Scriptures, where it says,

“Those who have never been told about him will see,

and those who have never heard of him will understand.”

22 In fact, my visit to you has been delayed so long because I have been preaching in these places.

23 But now I have finished my work in these regions, and after all these long years of waiting, I am eager to visit you.

21 but as it is written:

“To whom He was not announced, they shall see;

And those who have not heard shall understand.”

22 For this reason I also have been much hindered from coming to you. 23 But now no longer having a place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come to you,

21 But it is written in the Scriptures:

“Those who were not told about him will see,

and those who have not heard about him will understand.”

22 This is the reason I was stopped many times from coming to you. 23 Now I have finished my work here. Since for many years I have wanted to come to you,

21 but, as it is written,

They shall see, to whom no tidings of him came,

And they who have not heard shall understand.

22 Wherefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you: 23 but now, having no more any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come unto you,

21 but according as it is written, To whom there was nothing told concerning him, they shall see; and they that have not heard shall understand.

22 Wherefore also I have been often hindered from coming to you. 23 But now, having no longer place in these regions, and having great desire to come to you these many years,

21 As Scripture says, 

“Those who were never told about him will see, 

and those who never heard will understand.” 

22 This is what has so often kept me from visiting you. 23 But now I have no new opportunities for work in this region. For many years I have wanted to visit you.

21 but, as it is written:

Those who were not told about Him will see,

and those who have not heard will understand.

22 That is why I have been prevented many times from coming to you. 23 But now I no longer have any work to do in these provinces, and I have strongly desired for many years to come to you

21 but as it is written,

“Those who have never been told of him shall see,

and those who have never heard of him shall understand.”

22 This is the reason that I have so often been hindered from coming to you. 23 But now, with no further place for me in these regions, I desire, as I have for many years, to come to you

21 but just as it is written,

“Those to whom it was not announced concerning him will see,

and those who have not heard will understand.”

22 For this reason also I was hindered many times from coming to you, 23 and now, no longer having a place in these regions, but having a desire for many years to come to you

21 It is written,

“Those who were not told about him will understand.

Those who have not heard will know what it all means.”

22 That’s why I have often been kept from coming to you.

23 Now there is no more place for me to work in those areas. For many years I have been longing to see you.
