Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.

016:006
And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go.

016:007

016:008

I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.
