'Time' in the Bible

I hope, as soon as ever I extend my travels into Spain, to see you on my way and be helped forward by you on my journey, when I have first enjoyed being with you for a time.

in order that if God be willing I may come to you with a glad heart, and may enjoy a time of rest with you.
