12 Having many things to write unto you, I would not `write them' with paper and ink: but I hope to come unto you, and to speak face to face, that your joy may be made full.
These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy may be in you, and `that' your joy may be made full.

and these things we write, that our joy may be made full.
I had many things to write unto thee, but I am unwilling to write `them' to thee with ink and pen: but I hope shortly to see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace `be' unto thee. The friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.
I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
whensoever I go unto Spain (for I hope to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first in some measure I shall have been satisfied with your company)--

For I do not wish to see you now by the way; for I hope to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.
longing to see thee, remembering thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;
But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I hope that through your prayers I shall be granted unto you.
