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. Come, Lord!

23 - The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

24 - My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
