Personal Requests
5 After I go through Macedonia, I will come to you(A)—for I will be going through Macedonia.(B) 6 Perhaps I will stay with you for a while, or even spend the winter, so that you can help me on my journey,(C) wherever I go. 7 For I do not want to see you now and make only a passing visit; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.(D) 8 But I will stay on at Ephesus(E) until Pentecost,(F) 9 because a great door for effective work has opened to me,(G) and there are many who oppose me.
10 When Timothy(H) comes, see to it that he has nothing to fear while he is with you, for he is carrying on the work of the Lord,(I) just as I am. 11 No one, then, should treat him with contempt.(J) Send him on his way(K) in peace(L) so that he may return to me. I am expecting him along with the brothers.
1 Corinthians 16:5-11
King James Version
1 Corinthians 16:5-11
King James Version
5 Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.
6 And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go.
7 For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.
8 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
9 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.
10 Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do.
11 Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come unto me: for I look for him with the brethren.
