1 Corinthians 16:5

Macedonia

3 Then, on my arrival, I will send letters with those you recommend to carry your gift to Jerusalem.

4 And if it is advisable for me to go also, they can travel with me.

After I go through Macedonia, however, I will come to you; for I will be going through Macedonia.

6 Perhaps I will stay with you awhile, or even spend the winter, so that you can help me on my journey, wherever I go.

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