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

⁵ Now I shall come to you after I have gone through Macedonia. ⁶ I shall remain some time with you; possibly spending the winter, in order that you may help me forward in whatever journey I take. ⁷ For I do not wish at this present time to see you merely in passing; but if the Lord permits, I hope to remain some time with you. ⁸ I am staying for the present in Ephesus, until Pentecost; ⁹ for a door has opened to me, great and effectual, and the opponents are many. ¹⁰ If Timothy come, see to it that he is among you without trepidation; for he is doing the Lord's work, as I am, so let no one disparage him. ¹¹ Whenever he comes to me, send him on his way in peace, for I am expecting him with the other brothers.

¹² As for our Apollos, I have many times urged him to go to you with the others, but he was always unwilling to go to you at this time. He will come, however, whenever he has a good opportunity.
