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 for Travel
5 I will visit you after passing through Macedonia—for I intend to pass through Macedonia(A)— 6 and perhaps I will stay with you or even spend the winter, so that you may send me on my way, wherever I go. 7 I do not want to see you now just in passing, for I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits. 8 But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost, 9 for a wide door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
