1 Corinthians 16:5-9
New American Standard Bible
5 But I (A)will come to you after I go through (B)Macedonia; for I (C)am going through Macedonia, 6 and perhaps I will stay with you or even spend the winter, so that you may (D)send me on my way wherever I go. 7 For I do not want to see you now (E)just in passing; for I hope to remain with you for some time, (F)if the Lord permits. 8 But I will remain in (G)Ephesus until (H)Pentecost; 9 for a (I)wide door [a]for effective service has opened to me, and (J)there are many adversaries.

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.
