Now concerning the collection for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also are to do. |
2
|
On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that there will be no collecting when I come. |
3
|
And when I arrive, I will send those whom you accredit by letter to carry your gift to Jerusalem. |
4
|
If it seems advisable that I should go also, they will accompany me. |
5
|
I will visit you after passing through Macedonia, for I intend to pass through Macedonia, |
6
|
and perhaps I will stay with you or even spend the winter, so that you may help me on my journey, wherever I go. |
7
|
For I do not want to see you now just in passing. I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits. |
8
|
But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost, |
9
|
for a wide door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many adversaries. |
10
|
When Timothy comes, see that you put him at ease among you, for he is doing the work of the Lord, as I am. |

So let no one despise and the speaker a foreigner to me, that he may return to me, for I am expecting him with the brothers. |
12
|
Now concerning our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to visit you with the other brothers, but it was not at all his will to come now. He will come when he has opportunity. |
13
|
Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. |
14
|
Let all that you do be done in love. |
15
|
Now I urge you, brothers- you know that the household of Stephanas were the first converts in Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints- |
16
|
be subject to such as these, and to every fellow worker and laborer. |
17
|
I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they have made up for your absence, |
18
|
for they refreshed my spirit as well as yours. Give recognition to such men. |
19
|
The churches of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Prisca, together with the church in their house, send you hearty greetings in the Lord. |
20
|
All the brothers send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss. |
21
|
I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. |
22
|
If anyone has no love for the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord, come! |
23
|
The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you. |
24
|
My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen. |
