1Now, concerning the collection which is for the saints, just as I directed the assemblies of Galatia, so, also do, ye: 2Upon the first of the week, let, each one of you, put, by itself, in store, as he may be prospering,lest, as soon as I come, then, collections, should be in progress. 3And, as soon as I arrive, whomsoever ye shall approve by letters, these, will I send, to bear away your favour unto Jerusalem: 4And, if it be meet that, I also, be journeying, with me, shall they journey. 5Now I will come unto you, as soon as I have passed through Macedonia,for I do pass through Macedonia, 6And, with you, I may perhaps sojourn, or winter, that, ye, may set me forward, whithersoever I may be journeying. 7For I do not wish to see you, just now, by the way; for I hope to remain, some time, with you,if, the Lord, permit. 8But I remain in Ephesus, until the Pentecost, 9For, a door, unto me, hath opened, great and effectual, and, opposers, are many. 10But, if Timothy should come, see that, without fear, he be with you, for, in the work of the Lord, doth he labour, even as, I: 11Let no one then despise him; and set ye him forward in peace, that he may come unto me, for I expect him with the brethren. 12But, concerning Apollos the brother, much, did I beseech him, that he would come unto you, with the brethren, but there was, by no means, any will, that he should come, now;he will come, however, as soon as he hath good opportunity. 13Be on the watch, stand firm in the faith, be menbe strong; 14Let, all your affairs, in love, be carried on. 15Now I beseech you, brethren,ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is a first-fruit of Achaia, and, for the purpose of ministering, they devoted themselves, unto the saints 16That, ye also, be submitting yourselves unto such as these,and unto everyone helping in the work and toiling. 17I Rejoice, moreover, in the presence of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus: because, your own shortcoming, these, have filled up: 18They have given rest, in fact, unto my spirit, and yours: hold in acknowledgment, therefore, such as these. 19The assemblies of Asia salute you: Aquila and Priscilla, with the assembly meeting at their house, salute you much in the Lord: 20All the brethren salute you:Salute ye one another with a holy kiss. 21The salutation of Paulwith my own hand. 22If anyone doth not dearly love the Lord, let him be anathema . 23The favour of the Lord Jesus, be with you. 24My love, be with you all, in Christ Jesus.
