yYea, and from that time, even until now, I have labored without ceasing, that I might bring souls unto repentance; that I might bring them to taste of the exceeding joy of which I did taste; that they might also be born of God, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.

Simple English

From that time until now, I have worked hard to bring people to turn from their sins. I want them to taste the great joy that I tasted. I want them to be born of God and be filled with the Holy Spirit.

Paraphrase

From that moment until now, I’ve worked without stopping to bring people to repentance—to help them taste the incredible joy I tasted, so they too could be born of God and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
