1 Corinthians 16 — Context

But I will come to you after I have gone through Macedonia, for that is my purpose;

But I may be with you for a time, or even for the winter, so that you may see me on my way, wherever I go.

For it is not my desire to see you now, on my way; because it is my hope to be with you for some time, if that is the Lord's pleasure.

But I will be at Ephesus till Pentecost;

For a great and important door there is open to me, and there are a number of people against me.

Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear; because he is doing the Lord's work, even as I am:

See then that he has the honour which is right. But send him on his way in peace, so that he may come to me: for I am looking for him with the brothers.
