Corinth » Visited » By paul
Now for the third time I am ready to visit you. I will not burden you [financially], because I do not want what is yours [not your money or your possessions], but you. For children are not responsible to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.
This is the third time that I am visiting you. Every fact shall be sustained and confirmed by the testimony of two or three witnesses.
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.
Submission » Of paul
For I do not wish to see you right now just in passing, but I hope to remain with you for some time [later on], if the Lord permits.

He was saying, “Abba, Father! All things are possible for You; take this cup [of judgment] away from Me; but not what I will, but what You will.”
Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to completely finish His work.
And after going a little farther, He fell face down and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible [that is, consistent with Your will], let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will.”

He said to them,
“When you pray, say:
‘Father, hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
so that by God’s will I may come to you with joy and find rest in your company.
He went away a second time and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, Your will be done.”
And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you].

but after telling them goodbye and saying, “I will return again if God is willing,” he set sail from Ephesus.
For I do not wish to see you right now just in passing, but I hope to remain with you for some time [later on], if the Lord permits.
For I have come down from heaven not to do My own will and purpose but to do the will and purpose of Him Who sent Me. And this is the will of Him Who sent Me, that I should not lose any of all that He has given Me, but that I should give new life and raise [them all] up at the last day. For this is My Father's will and His purpose, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in and cleaves to and trusts in and relies on Him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up [from the dead] at the last day.
But I will come to you soon, if the Lord is willing, and I will find out not just the talk of these arrogant people, but [evaluate] their [spiritual] power [whether they live up to their own claims].
