(13) Now I don't want you to not know brothers, that I often planned to come to you and have been prevented as far as coming. In order that I may obtain fruit in you also, even just as in the rest of the Gentile-nations.

[13] My dear friends, I want you to know I've tried numerous times to visit you, but have been prevented until now. I long to see spiritual fruit among you just as I've seen among other non-Jewish peoples.

And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that many times I did purpose to come unto you—and was hindered till the present time—that some fruit I might have also among you, even as also among the other nations.
