1 Corinthians 16:7

Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

I don’t want to come see you now, because I would have to leave to go to other places. I hope to stay a longer time with you, if the Lord allows it.

See the chapter Copy

He left them and said, “I will come back to you again if God wants me to.” And so he sailed away from Ephesus.

So you should say, “If the Lord wants, we will live and do this or that.”

But I will come to you very soon, the Lord willing. Then I will see if these proud talkers have the power to do anything more than talk.

I was very sure of all this. That is why I made plans to visit you first. Then you could be blessed twice.

Lord, I know that our lives do not belong to us. We have no control over what happens.

People might make many plans, but what the Lord says is what will happen.

Jesus answered, “Let it be this way for now. We should do whatever God says is right.” Then John agreed.
