3 Then whenever I arrive, I will send whomever you approve with letters of introduction to carry your gift to Jerusalem.
4 If it is advisable for me to go also, they will go with me.
5 But I will come to you after I have passed through Macedonia—for I am passing through Macedonia.
6 Perhaps I will stay with you, or even spend the winter, so that you can help me on my journey—wherever I go.
7 For I do not wish to see you now just in passing—for I hope to stay on with you for a while, if the Lord permits.
8 But I will stay on at Ephesus until Shavuot,
9 for a great door has opened wide for me, though many are in opposition.
