1 Corinthians 16:5-9 AMPC

After passing through Macedonia, I will visit you, for I intend [only] to pass through Macedonia; But it may be that I will stay with you [for a while], perhaps even spend the winter, so that you may bring me forward [on my journey] to wherever I may go. For I am unwilling to see you right now [just] in passing, but I hope later to remain for some time with you, if the Lord permits. I will remain in Ephesus [however] until Pentecost, For a wide door of opportunity for effectual [service] has opened to me [there, a great and promising one], and [there are] many adversaries.
