1 Corinthians 16:5-9
New International Version
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.

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.
