1 Corinthians 16:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ I don’t want to see you now while I am just passing through. Instead, I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord allows it. ⁸ But I will stay at Ephesus until the day of Pentecost. ⁹ A door has opened wide for me to do some good work here. There are many people who oppose me.
