016:003 And when I am with you, whatever brethren you accredit by letter
I will send to carry your kind gift to Jerusalem.
016:004 And if it is worth while for me also to make the journey,
they shall go as my companions.
016:005 I shall come to you after passing through Macedonia;
for my plan will be to pass through Macedonia;
016:006 and I shall make some stay with you perhaps, or even spend the winter with you, in order that you may help me forward, whichever way I travel.
016:007 For I do not wish to see you on this occasion merely in passing;
but if the Lord permits, I hope to remain some time with you.
016:008 I shall remain in Ephesus, however, until the time of
the Harvest Festival,
016:009 for a wide door stands open before me which demands great efforts,
and we have many opponents.
016:010 If Timothy pays you a visit, see that he is free from fear
in his relations with you; for he is engaged in the Master's
work just as I am.
016:011 Therefore let no one slight him, but all of you should help
him forward in peace to join me; for I am waiting for him
and others of the brethren.
016:012 As for our brother Apollos, I have repeatedly urged him to accompany the brethren who are coming to you: but he is quite resolved not to do so at present. He will come, however, when he has a good opportunity.
