5. I shall come to you after I pass through Macedonia (for I am going to pass through Macedonia),
6. and perhaps I shall stay or even spend the winter with you, so that you may send me on my way wherever I may go.
7. For I do not wish to see you now just in passing, but I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.
8. I shall stay in Ephesus until Pentecost,
9. because a door has opened for me wide and productive for work, but there are many opponents.
