- 1. Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I commanded the assemblies of Galatia, you do likewise.
- 2. On the first day of the week, let each one of you save, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come.
- 3. When I arrive, I will send whoever you approve with letters to carry your gracious gift to Jerusalem.
- 4. If it is appropriate for me to go also, they will go with me.
- 5. But I will come to you when I have passed through Macedonia, for I am passing through Macedonia.
- 6. But with you it may be that I will stay, or even winter, that you may send me on my journey wherever I go.
- 7. For I do not wish to see you now in passing, but I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits.
- 8. But I will stay at Ephesus until Pentecost,
- 9. for a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
- 10. Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear, for he does the work of the Lord, as I also do.
- 11. Therefore let no one despise him. But set him forward on his journey in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brothers.
- 12. Now concerning Apollos, the brother, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers; and it was not at all his desire to come now; but he will come when he has an opportunity.
- 13. Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!
- 14. Let all that you do be done in love.
- 15. Now I beg you, brothers (you know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have set themselves to serve the saints),
- 16. that you also be in subjection to such, and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.
- 17. I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for that which was lacking on your part, they supplied.
- 18. For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge those who are like that.
- 19. The assemblies of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you much in the Lord, together with the assembly that is in their house.
- 20. All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
- 21. This greeting is by me, Paul, with my own hand.
- 22. If any man doesn't love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed{Greek: anathema.}. Come, Lord!{Aramaic: Maranatha!}
- 23. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
- 24. My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
