1 Corinthians 16:5-9
New Living Translation
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.

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.
