1 Corinthians 16:6-10

and perhaps I will stay with you or even spend the winter, so that you may send me on my way wherever I go.

For I do not want to see you now just in passing; for I hope to remain with you for some time, if the Lord permits.

But I will remain in Ephesus until Pentecost;

for a wide door for effective service has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

Now if Timothy comes, see that he has no reason to be afraid while among you, for he is doing the Lord’s work, as I also am.
