American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
But, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I entreat thee to hear us of thy clemency a few words.
because we would fain have come unto you, I Paul once and again; and Satan hindered us.
Ye were running well; who hindered you that ye should not obey the truth?
Wherefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you:
Ye husbands, in like manner, dwell with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor {Greek: unto the female vessel, as weaker.}unto the woman, as unto the weaker vessel, as being also joint-heirs of the grace of life; to the end that your prayers be not hindered.
But I exhort you, brethren, bear with the word of exhortation: for I have written unto you in few words.
{Or, On this account}Herein I also exercise myself to have a conscience void of offence toward God and men always.
