1 Corinthians 16:4-10
New American Standard Bible
5But I will come to you after I go through Macedonia; for I am going through Macedonia,
6and perhaps I will stay with you or even spend the winter, so that you may send me on my way wherever I go.
7For I do not want to see you now just in passing; for I hope to remain with you for some time, if the Lord permits.
8But I will remain in Ephesus until Pentecost;
9for a wide door for effective service has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

5Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.

7For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.
8But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
9For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.
