For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;
And I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you (and was hindered hitherto), that I might have some fruit in you also, even as in the rest of the Gentiles.
And I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?
