Translations
I don't want to just pass through for a fleeting visit — I'm hoping to spend real time with you, if the Lord allows.
For I do not want to see you merely in passing; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.
For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.
For I do not want to see you now only in passing; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.
