²⁸ Therefore, when I have performed this and have sealed to them ^(A)this fruit, I shall go by way of you to Spain.

²⁴ whenever I journey to Spain, ^[a]I shall come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, ^(A)and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may ^(B)enjoy your company for a while.

¹⁷ Not that I seek the gift, but I seek ^(A)the fruit that abounds to your account.

⁶ which has come to you, ^(A)as it has also in all the world, and ^(B)is bringing forth ^[a]fruit, as it is also among you since the day you heard and knew ^(C)the grace of God in truth;

For what is your life? ^(A)It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. ¹⁵ Instead you ought to say, ^(B)“If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.”
