5But I will come to you when I have gone through Macedonia, for I am going through Macedonia.

6and perhaps I will stay with you, or even spend the winter, so that you may send me on my way wherever I may go.

7For I do not want to see you now in passing, for I hope to remain with you for some time, if the Lord permits.

8But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost.

9For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many opponents.

10If Timothy comes, see that he may be with you without fear, for he is doing the Lord’s work, as I also am.

11So then, let no one despise him. But send him on his way in peace, so that he may come to me, for I am expecting him with the brothers.

12Concerning Apollos our brother, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers; but it was not at all his will to come now. Yet he will come when he has opportunity.
