In Galations 5:2223 Paul refers to the Fruits of the Spirit. "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
His desire to visit sooner was probably hindered by the work of the ministry in other places. It wasn’t GOD’S timing.
