1 Corinthians 16:7-9

New International Version

⁷ For I do not want to see you now and make only a passing visit; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.^{(A) 8} But I will stay on at Ephesus^(B) until Pentecost,^{(C) 9} because a great door for effective work has opened to me,^(D) and there are many who oppose me.
