Exegesis
The prepositional phrase pros hymas {πρὸς ὑμᾶς | prós hymâs} “toward you” specifies the direction and recipients of Paul’s unrealized travel. In translation, the inferential opening is represented with “Therefore” in the formal reconstruction and “That is why” in the dynamic, while the imperfect passive is rendered with English perfect forms (“have been hindered,” “have often been prevented”) to convey a past situation with ongoing relevance to the present explanation.
In context — Romans 15:22
Therefore, I also have been hindered many times from coming to you .
