“I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.”
How I wish I could be with you now and change my tone, because I am perplexed about you! — Paul's exasperation is palpable: his wish to be present ('para' — with, alongside) and to alter his tone ('metro' — measure, modulate) shows his desire for face-to-face reconciliation; he is 'aporeo' (at a loss, perplexed) about how to reach them, indicating emotional depth beyond doctrinal debate.
