I will visit you after passing through Macedonia, for I intend to pass through Macedonia, and perhaps I will stay with you or even spend the winter, so that you may help me on my journey, wherever I go.

After I go through Macedonia, I will come to you—for I will be going through Macedonia. Perhaps I will stay with you for a while, or even spend the winter, so that you can help me on my journey, wherever I go.

NLTNew Living Translation

I am coming to visit you after I have been to Macedonia, for I am planning to travel through Macedonia.

I want to come and stay awhile, if the Lord will let me.
