In this final section of the book, Paul wrote briefly about several topics. He wrote about collecting money for poor Christians in Jerusalem, and he wrote about the travel plans of him and his companions. Then he concluded his letter with some short exhortations, warnings, blessings, and greetings.
Here are some other possible section headings:
The conclusion of the letter
Final topics
In this paragraph Paul wrote about his travel plans. Paul wrote this letter from Ephesus, probably in March or April. He said that he would stay in Ephesus until after Pentecost, which is in late May or early June. Then he would travel through Macedonia to go to Corinth. He planned to stay in Corinth through the winter.
But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost,
But first I will stay here at Ephesus until the festival of Pentecost.
But I will stay here in Ephesus City until after the Pentecost festival.
But: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as But introduces new information about Paul’s visit to Corinth. Paul wanted to visit them but he needed to remain in Ephesus first to work there.
Here are some other ways to translate this conjunction:
In the meantime (NLT)
I plan to visit you, but first
You should translate this in a way that is natural in your language.
I will stay in Ephesus: Paul was in the city of Ephesus when he wrote this. In some languages it may be natural to say:
I will stay here in Ephesus
until Pentecost: Pentecost is a Jewish festival, a religious celebration. It is also mentioned in Acts 2:1. Pentecost comes during late May or early June, fifty days after Passover.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
