[1] Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do you.
[1] ---
[2] On the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God has prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.
[2] ---
[3] And when I come, whomsoever you shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality to Jerusalem.
[3] ---
[4] And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.
[4] ---
[5] Now I will come to you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.
[5] ---
[6] And it may be that I will abide, yes, and winter with you, that you may bring me on my journey wherever I go.
[6] ---
[7] For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.
[7] ---
[8] But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
[8] ---
[9] For a great door and effectual is opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
[9] ---
[10] Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he works the work of the Lord, as I also do.
[10] ---
[11] Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come to me: for I look for him with the brothers.
[11] ---
[12] As touching our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come to you with the brothers: but his will was not at all to come at this time; but he will come when he shall have convenient time.
[12] ---
[13] Watch you, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
[13] ---
[14] Let all your things be done with charity.
[14] ---
[15] I beseech you, brothers, (you know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,)
[15] ---
[16] That you submit yourselves to such, and to every one that helps with us, and labors.
[16] ---
[17] I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.
[17] ---
[18] For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge you them that are such.
[18] ---
[19] The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.
[19] ---
[20] All the brothers greet you. Greet you one another with an holy kiss.
[20] ---
[21] The salutation of me Paul with my own hand.
[21] ---
[22] If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.
[22] ---
[23] The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
[23] ---
[24] My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
