1 Corinthians 16:5-12 - Travel Plans For Paul And Associates
5 I will come to see you after I pass through Macedonia -- for I am to pass through Macedonia -- 6 and I shall likely stay over with you some time, or maybe spend the winter with you, so that you may help me on to whatever points I may visit. 7 I do not want to see you right now in a mere stop-over visit, for later I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits me. 8 But I shall stay on in Ephesus until the time of Harvest Feast. 9 For I have an opportunity here that is great and calls for work, and it has many opponents. 10 If Timothy gets there, see that he is at ease among you, for he is devotedly doing the work of the Lord, just as I am. 11 So no one must slight him at all. But send him on with your goodbye, that he may come back to me, for I am expecting him with the other brothers.
12 As for our brother Apollos, I have earnestly urged him to go to see you, but he is not at all inclined to come just now; yet he is coming when he has a good opportunity.
