1 Corinthians 16:8

Ephesus

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.

But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost,

9 because a great door for effective work has opened to me, even though many oppose me.

10 If Timothy comes, see to it that he has nothing to fear while he is with you, for he is doing the work of the Lord, just as I am.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
