1 Corinthians 16:2-9
English Standard Version
Chapter 16
2On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that there will be no collecting when I come. 3And when I arrive, I will send those whom you accredit by letter to carry your gift to Jerusalem. 4If it seems advisable that I should go also, they will accompany me.
5I will visit you after passing through Macedonia, for I intend to pass through Macedonia,
6and perhaps I will stay with you or even spend the winter, so that you may help me on my journey, wherever I go.
7For I do not want to see you now just in passing. I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.
8But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost,
9for a wide door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
