Instead, he told them as he left, "If it is the will of God, I will come back to you." And so he sailed from Ephesus.

And so I will come to you full of joy, if it is God's will, and enjoy a refreshing visit with you.

If the Lord is willing, however, I will come to you soon, and then I will find out for myself the power which these proud people have, and not just what they say.

I want to see you more than just briefly in passing; I hope to spend quite a long time with you, if the Lord allows.

What you should say is this: "If the Lord is willing, we will live and do this or that."
