1 Corinthians 16:5-12 - Travel Plans For Paul And Associates

⁵ I will come to you after passing through Macedonia, for I am going through Macedonia, ⁶ and I will probably stay some time with you, or even pass the winter, so that you may start me off for wherever I may be going. ⁷ For I do not want to see you now just in passing, for I hope to spend some time with you if the Lord permits it. ⁸ But I shall stay in Ephesus until the Harvest Festival, ⁹ for I have a great and promising opportunity here, as well as many opponents. ¹⁰ If Timothy reaches you, put him at his ease among you, for he is devoted to the Lord's work, just as I am. ¹¹ So no one is to slight him. But see him off cordially when he comes back to me, for I am expecting him with the other brothers.

¹² As for our brother Apollos, I have often urged him to visit you with the other brothers, and he is quite unwilling to come now, but he will come when he has a good opportunity.
