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.
