3. When I arrive, I will send some people with your gift to Jerusalem. They will be people you consider to be good. And I will give them letters that explain who they are.
4. If it seems good for me to go also, they will go with me.
5. After I go through Macedonia, I will come to you. I will only be passing through Macedonia.
6. But I might stay with you for a while. I might even spend the winter. Then you can help me on my journey everywhere I go.
7. I don't want to see you now while I am just passing through. I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord allows it.
