12 Having many things to write to you, I would not with paper and ink; but hope to come to you, and to speak mouth to mouth, that our joy may be full.
I had many things to write to thee, but I will not with ink and pen write to thee; but I hope soon to see thee, and we will speak mouth to mouth. Peace [be] to thee. The friends greet thee. Greet the friends by name.
But I will come to you when I shall have gone through Macedonia; for I do go through Macedonia. But perhaps I will stay with you, or even winter with you, that *ye* may set me forward wheresoever I may go. For I will not see you now in passing, for I hope to remain a certain time with you, if the Lord permit.
