1 Concerning and the collection that for the saints, as I appointed to the congregations of the Gentiles, so also you do.
2 Every first of week each one of you by itself let him place, treasuring up, what thing he may be prospered; so that not when I may come, then collections may be made.
3 When and I may arrive, whom if you may approve, by letters these I will send to carry the gift of you to Jerusalem;
4 if but it may be be worthy of the even me to go, with me they shall go.
5 I will come but to you, when Macedonia I may have passed through; (Macedonia for I pass through;)
6 with you and it may happen I will remain, or even I shall winter, so that you me may send before where if I may go.
7 Not I wish for you now in passing by to see; I hope for time some to remain with you, if the Lord should permit.
8 I shall remain but in Ephesus till the pentecost;
9 a door for to me has been opened great and effective, and opposers many.
10 If and should have come Timothy, see you, that without fear he may be to you; the for work of Lord he works as even I;
11 I not any one therefore him may despise. Send on before and him in peace, so that he may come to me; I expect for him with the brethren.
12 Concerning and Apollos the brother, much I entreated him, that he would go to you with the brethren, and at all not was will, that now he should go; he will go but, when he may find opportunity.
13 Watch you, stand you firm in the faith, be you manly, be you strong;
14 all things of you in love let it be done.
15 I entreat and you, brethren; you know the household of Stephanas, that it is a firstfruit of the Achaia, and for service to the saints they devoted themselves;
16 that also you should be submissive to the such like persons, and to every one to the one working with and laboring with.
17 I rejoice but on the presence of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because the of you want these supplied;
18 they refreshed for the my spirit and that of you. Acknowledge therefore the such like persons.
19 Salute you the congregations of the Asia. Salute you in Lord much Aquila and Priscilla, with the in house of them congregation.
20 Salute you the brethren all. Salute you each other with a kiss holy.
21 The salvation with the my hand of Paul.
22 If any one not has affection for the Lord Jesus Anointed, let him be accursed; the Lord comes.
23 The favor of the Lord Jesus Anointed, with you.
24 The love of me with all of you in Anointed Jesus. So be it.
1 Now concerning the collection for the holy ones, you should do the same as I told the congregations of Galatia.
2 On one day of the week let every one of you set something aside, as God has prospered you, that there be no contributions collected when I come. Greek: heis, number one
3 When I come, whomever you approve by your letters, I will send to bring your gift to Jerusalem.
4 If it is fitting that I also go they will go with me.
5 Now I will come to you when I pass through Macedonia, for I do pass through Macedonia.
6 And it may be that I will stay there and winter with you, that you may send me on my journey where ever I go.
7 I will not see you now by the way; but I plan to stay a while with you, if the God permits.
8 I will stay at Ephesus until Pentecost.
9 For a great door that leads to activity is opened to me. Yet there are many people working against me.
10 Now if Timothy comes, see that he may be with you without fear, for he works the work of God, as I also do.
11 Let no one despise him. But conduct him in peace that he may come to me, for I look for him with the brothers.
12 Concerning 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. He will come when he has a convenient time.
13 Be alert be watchful and stand fast be vigilantpersevere in the faith, carry on as men be courageous, be strong. (Ps 31:24)
14 Do everything with love.
15 I exhort you, brothers, you know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the ministry of the holy ones.
16 That you submit yourselves to such, and to every one that helps with us, and labors.
17 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus. For they have supplied what was lacking on your part.
18 For they have refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge them.
19 The congregations of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you in the Lord, with the congregation that is in their house.
20 All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
21 The greeting from me Paul is with my own hand.
22 If any man does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. Come O Lord!
23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with you.
24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
