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.
