Now then, upon getting a fitting opportunity with [you], I will keep on calling for you," ²⁶ – at the same time continuing in expecting that money (or: the effect of something useful; = a bribe) will be given to him by Paul, on account of which, repeatedly sending for him even more frequently, he kept on conversing with him.
