我正打算從馬其頓經過，過了馬其頓後，我就去探望你們。

我要从马其顿经过；既经过了，就要到你们那里去，

我想穿越马其顿；我经过了马其顿后，就到你们那里去，

我想穿越马其顿；我经过了马其顿后，就到你们那里去，

我正打算从马其顿经过，过了马其顿，我就去探望你们。

我现在正要路过马其顿。过了马其顿，我就会到你们那里去。

我经过马其顿省以后，就会到你们那里去——因为我要经过马其顿省——

我要從馬其頓經過；既經過了，就要到你們那裏去，

我想穿越馬其頓；我經過了馬其頓後，就到你們那裏去，

我想穿越馬其頓；我經過了馬其頓後，就到你們那裏去，

我現在正要路過馬其頓。過了馬其頓，我就會到你們那裡去。

我現在正從馬其頓經過；我經過了馬其頓以後，就要到你們那裏去，

我經過馬其頓省以後，就會到你們那裡去——因為我要經過馬其頓省——

我經行馬其頓時、則將就爾、蓋我欲經行馬其頓也、

我欲徑行馬其頓、既經馬其頓、我將至爾、

我意經過瑪其頓、經過時、必當就爾、

予目前須赴馬其頓一行；此行既畢、當赴爾處。

After I go through Macedonia, I will come to you— for I will be going through Macedonia.

After I go through Macedonia, I will come to you. I will only be passing through Macedonia.

I will visit you after passing through Macedonia, for I intend to pass through Macedonia,

I am coming to visit you after I have been to Macedonia, for I am planning to travel through Macedonia.

I will come to you after I pass through Macedonia— for I will be traveling through Macedonia—

But I will come to you after I go through Macedonia; for I am going through Macedonia,

Now I will come to you when I pass through Macedonia( for I am passing through Macedonia).

But I will come unto you, when I shall have passed through Macedonia; for I pass through Macedonia;

I will come to you after I pass through Macedonia— for I will be traveling through Macedonia—

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

But I will come to you after I have gone through Macedonia– for I will be going through Macedonia–

But I will come to you when I have passed through Macedonia, for I am passing through Macedonia.

這些事以後，保羅決定經過馬其頓和亞該亞回到耶路撒冷。他說：「到了那裡之後，我必須去羅馬看看。」

但主若許可，我會很快去你們那裡。那時我要看看這些驕傲的人究竟是只會空談，還是真有上帝的權能。

我有這樣的把握，所以早就計劃去你們那裡，使你們有兩次蒙福的機會。我打算從你們那裡去馬其頓，再從馬其頓回到你們那裡，然後你們為我送行前往猶太。我定了這計劃，難道會反覆無常嗎？難道我是意氣用事，出爾反爾嗎？

這場風波平息後，保羅召集眾門徒勉勵一番後，便辭別他們去了馬其頓。他走遍那一帶，用許多勸勉的話鼓勵當地的門徒。之後，他又去希臘，在那裡逗留了三個月。當保羅正要乘船去敘利亞時，聽聞猶太人計劃要害他，就決定經馬其頓回去。
