23 But now, having no longer any place in these parts and having had for a number of years a great desire to come 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,
24 Whenever I go to Spain (for it is my hope to see you on my way, and to be sent on there by you, if first I may in some measure have been comforted by your company)--
24
I plan to do so when I go to Spain. I hope to see you while passing through and to have you assist me on my journey there, after I have enjoyed your company for a while.
