Paul’s Travel Plans
5 I will come to you after I pass through Macedonia(A)—for I will be traveling through Macedonia— 6 and perhaps I will remain with you or even spend the winter, so that you may send me on my way wherever I go. 7 I don’t want to see you now just in passing, since I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord allows.(B) 8 But I will stay in Ephesus(C) until Pentecost,(D) 9 because a wide door(E) for effective ministry has opened for me[a]—yet many oppose me.

Plans to visit
5 I’ll come to you after I go through Macedonia, and because I’m going through Macedonia, 6 I may stay with you or even spend the winter there in Corinth so that you can send me on my way to wherever I’m off to next. 7 I don’t want to make a quick visit to you, since I hope to spend some time with you if the Lord lets it happen. 8 I’ll stay here in Ephesus until the Festival of Pentecost. 9 In spite of the fact that there are many opponents, a big and productive opportunity has opened up for my mission here.
