‏ 1 Corinthians 16:5-6

Paul Promises to Visit Corinth

In this passage, Paul explains his travel plans to the Corinthians. He wants them to know why he has not visited them yet and how much he cares for their church. Paul hopes to spend quality time with them, not just pass through quickly. He also shares why he is staying in Ephesus for now, showing that his choices are guided by both opportunities and challenges in his ministry. Paul teaches that all our plans should be made with trust in God's will.

v. 5–6: Paul says he plans to travel through Macedonia and then come to Corinth. He wants to spend some time with them, maybe even the winter. He hopes they will help him as he continues his journey. Paul’s desire to stay longer shows his deep care for the church and his hope to help them grow stronger in faith (1 Corinthians 16:5-6 a).
