¹⁴ These things I write to you, hoping to come to you shortly;

³⁴ But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest your coming together be for judgment. The rest I will set in order whenever I come.

⁵ But I will come to you when I have passed through Macedonia, for I am passing through Macedonia.

⁶ But with you it may be that I will stay, or even winter, that you may send me on my journey wherever I go.

⁷ For I do not wish to see you now in passing, but I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits.

¹⁵ In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit;

¹⁶ and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be sent forward by you on my journey to Judea.

¹⁷ When I therefore was thus determined, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the "Yes, yes" and the "No, no?"

¹⁸ because we wanted to come to you--indeed, I, Paul, once and again-- but Satan hindered us.

¹³ Until I come, pay attention to reading, to exhortation, and to teaching.

²² Also, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.

²³ Know that our brother Timothy has been freed, with whom, if he comes shortly, I will see you.

¹² Having many things to write to you, I don't want to do so with paper and ink, but I hope to come to you, and to speak face to face, that our joy may be made full.

¹⁴ but I hope to see you soon, and we will speak face to face. Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.
