but I will come quickly unto you, if the Lord may will, and I will know not the word of those puffed up, but the power;

All things are lawful to me, but all things are not profitable; all things are lawful to me, but I -- I will not be under authority by any;

and whenever I may come, whomsoever ye may approve, through letters, these I will send to carry your favour to Jerusalem;

And I will come unto you, when I pass through Macedonia -- for Macedonia I do pass through --

and with you, it may be, I will abide, or even winter, that ye may send me forward whithersoever I go,

and I will remain in Ephesus till the Pentecost,
