because we would fain have come unto you, I Paul once and again; and Satan hindered us.

For we wanted to come to you—indeed I, Paul, tried again and again—but Satan obstructed us.

wherefore we wished to come unto you, (I indeed Paul,) both once and again, and the Adversary did hinder us;

wherefore we have desired to come to you, even I Paul, both once and twice, and Satan has hindered us.
