Right now all I could do is visit you briefly, but if the Lord lets me, I hope to spend some time with you.
Many plans are in the human heart, but the advice of the Lord will endure.
O Lord, I know that the way humans act is not under their control. Humans do not direct their steps as they walk.
Jesus answered him, “This is the way it has to be now. This is the proper way to do everything that God requires of us.” Then John gave in to him.
As he left, he told them, “I’ll come back to visit you if God wants me to.” Paul took a boat from Ephesus
every time I pray. I ask that somehow God will now at last make it possible for me to visit you.
If it’s the Lord’s will, I’ll visit you soon. Then I’ll know what these arrogant people are saying and what power they have.
Confident of this, I had previously wanted to visit you so that you could benefit twice.
Instead, you should say, “If the Lord wants us to, we will live and carry out our plans.”
