1 Corinthians 16:5-9

Ordered Giving, Open Doors, Faithful Labor, and Final Exhortations in the Lord

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

5After I go through Macedonia, however, I will come to you; for I will be going through Macedonia.

6Perhaps I will stay with you awhile, or even spend the winter, so that you can help me on my journey, wherever I go.

7For I do not want to see you now only in passing; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.

8But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost,

9because a great door for effective work has opened to me, even though many oppose me.
