1 Now concerning the collection for the sanctified, as I arranged for the congregations of Galatia, so also do ye.
2 Upon the first day of the week let each of you set something aside near himself, storing up whatever he may prosper, so that when I come no collections may be made then.
3 And when I arrive, whomever ye may approve by letters, I will send these men to bring your gift to Jerusalem.
4 And if it is fitting for me to go also, they will go with me.
5 But I will come to you when I pass through Macedonia, for I do pass through Macedonia.
6 And it may be that I will remain with you, or I will even spend winter, so that ye may set me on my way wherever I go.
7 For I do not want to see you now in passing, but I hope to remain some time with you, if the Lord allows.
8 But I will remain at Ephesus until Pentecost.
9 For a great and effective door has opened to me, and yet there are many who are hostile.
10 But if Timothy comes, see that he becomes without fear with you, for he works the work of Lord, as I also.
11 Let not any man therefore disparage him, but send him forth in peace, so that he may come to me, for I expect him with the brothers.
12 And about Apollos the brother, I urged him much that he would come to you with the brothers, and it was not at all his will that he should come now, but he will come when he has opportunity.
13 Watch ye, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.
14 Let all things of you be done in love.
15 Now I beseech you, brothers (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruit of Achaia, and that they committed themselves to service for the sanctified),
16 that ye also be subject to such men, and to every man working together and laboring.
17 And I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because these men filled your lack.
18 For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge ye such men.
19 The congregations of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in Lord, with the congregation associated with their house.
20 All the brothers salute you. Salute each other by a holy kiss.
21 The salutation of Paul by my hand.
22 If any man does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. Maranatha.
23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is with you.
24 My love is with you all in Christ Jesus. Truly.
1 Of the gadderynge for the saynctes as I have ordeyned in the congregacios of Galacia even so do ye.
2 Vpon some sondaye let every one of you put a syde at home and laye vp what soever he thinketh mete that ther be no gaderinges when I come.
3 When I am come whosoever ye shall alowe by youre letters them will I sende to bringe youre liberalite vnto Ierusalem.
4 And yf it be mete yt I goo they shall go with me.
5 I will come vnto you after I have gone over Macedonia. For I will goo thorowout Macedonia.
6 With you paraveture I wyll abyde awhyle: or els winter that ye maye brynge me on my waye whyther soever I goo.
7 I will not se you now in my passage: but I trust to abyde a whyle with you yf God shall suffre me.
8 I will tary at Ephesus untyll whit sontyde.
9 For a greate dore and a frutefull is opened vnto me: and ther are many adversaries.
10 If Timotheus come se yt he be with out feare with you. For he worketh the worke of the Lorde as I doo.
11 Let no man despyse him: but convaye him forthe in peace yt he maye come vnto me. For I loke for him with the brethre.
12 To speake of brother Apollo: I greatly desyred him to come vnto you with ye brethren but his mynde was not at all to come at this tyme. How be it he will come when he shall have conveniet tyme.
13 Watche ye stonde fast in the fayth auyte you lyke men and be stronge.
14 Let all youre busynes be done in love.
15 Brethren (ye knowe the housse of Stephana how yt they are the fyrst frutes of Achaia and that they have appoynted them selves to minister vnto the saynctes)
16 I beseche you yt ye be obedient vnto soche and to all that helpe and laboure.
17 I am gladde of the comynge of Stephana Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lackinge on youre parte they have supplied.
18 They have comforted my sprete and youres. Loke therfore that ye knowe them that are soche.
19 The congregacions of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you moche in the Lorde and so doeth the congregacio that is in their housse.
20 All the brethren grete you. Grete ye one another with an holy kysse.
21 The salutacion of me Paul with myne awne hande.
22 Yf eny man love not the Lorde Iesus Christ the same be anathema maranatha.
23 The grace of ye Lorde Iesus Christ be with you all.
24 My love be with you all in Christ Iesu. Ame
