1 Corinthians 16:5-9
English Standard Version
Plans for Travel
5 (A)I will visit you after passing through (B)Macedonia, for (C)I intend to pass through Macedonia, 6 and perhaps I will stay with you or even spend the winter, so that you may (D)help me on my journey, wherever I go. 7 For I do not want to see you now (E)just in passing. I hope to spend some time with you, (F)if the Lord permits. 8 But I will stay in Ephesus until (G)Pentecost, 9 for (H)a wide door for effective work has opened to me, and (I)there are many adversaries.

Paul’s Final Instructions
5 I am coming to visit you after I have been to Macedonia,[a] for I am planning to travel through Macedonia. 6 Perhaps I will stay awhile with you, possibly all winter, and then you can send me on my way to my next destination. 7 This time I don’t want to make just a short visit and then go right on. I want to come and stay awhile, if the Lord will let me. 8 In the meantime, I will be staying here at Ephesus until the Festival of Pentecost. 9 There is a wide-open door for a great work here, although many oppose me.
