Macedonia
Makedonia is the named region referenced as a destination, point of departure, and setting for assemblies and believers.

The accusative form marks the region as a destination or route in clauses about going, passing through, or sending people there: in Acts 16:10 the APB renders the decision to “go out to Macedonia,” and in 2 Corinthians 1:16 it renders travel “into Macedonia” and return “from Macedonia.” The genitive and dative forms also locate people and assemblies in relation to the region: Acts 16:12 calls Philippi a city of its district, while 2 Corinthians 8:1 refers to assemblies there.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB regularly presents the name as “Macedonia,” including movement “to,” “into,” “through,” and “from” it and references to people or assemblies there. These English prepositions reflect the clauses as rendered rather than separate meanings of the term.
