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.

Paul’s Plans to Visit
5 But I will come to you after I have gone through Macedonia—for I will be going through Macedonia— 6 and perhaps I will stay with you, or even spend the winter, so that you can send me on my journey, wherever I go. 7 For I do not want to see you now in passing, since I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord allows. 8 But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost, 9 because a door of great opportunity stands wide open for me,[a] but there are many opponents.
