requesting if somehow now at sometime I shall succeed in the will of God to come to you.

that is, that I may be encouraged together among you through the mutual faith both of you and me.

that I may be delivered from those in Judea who do not believe, and that my service for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,

so that in joy I may come to you through the will of God, and may be refreshed together with you.

But meanwhile, also prepare for me a guestroom, for I hope that through your prayers I will be graciously given to you.
