1 Now concerning the collection for the holy ones, as I commanded the assemblies of Galatia, you do likewise. 2 On the first day of every week, let each one of you save, as he may prosper, that no collections are 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 Shavu`ot, 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 holy ones— 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 Yeshua the Messiah, let him be cursed. Come, Lord! 23 The grace of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah be with you. 24 My love to all of you in Messiah Yeshua. Amen.

1 Now, concerning the collection, which is for the saints; as I ordered the congregations of Galatia, so also so you.2 On the first say of the week, let each of you lay somewhat by itself, according as he may have prospered, putting it into the treasury; that when I come, there may be then no collection.3 And when I come, whomsoever you shall approve by letters, them I will send to carry your gift to Jerusalem.4 Or, if it be proper that even I should go, they shall go with me.5 Now, I will come to you, when I have passed through Macedonia, (for I do pass through Macedonia;)6 and, perhaps, I shall abide, and even winter with you, that you may send me forward, whithersoever I may go.7 For I will not now see you in passing; but I hope to remain with you sometime, if the Lord permit.8 However, I shall remain at Ephesus till Pentecost.9 For a great and effectual door is opened to me, yet there are many opposers.10 Now, if Timothy be come, take care that he be among you without fear; for he works, even as I do, the work of the Lord.11 Wherefore, let no one despise him; but send him forward in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren.12 And with relation to our brother Apollos, I entreated him much to go to you with the brethren; but his inclination was not at all to go now, but he will go when he shall find a convenient season.13 Watch; stand fast in the faith; acquit yourselves like men; be strong.14 Let all things be done with love.15 You know the family of Stephanus, that it is the first fruit of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the ministry of the saints.16 I entreat you, therefore, brethren, that you submit yourselves to such, and to every joint worker and laborer.17 I am glad of the coming of Stephanus, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for they have supplied your deficiency,18 and have refreshed my spirit and yours; wherefore, acknowledge such persons.19 The congregations of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the congregation which is in their house.20 All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss.21 The salutation of Paul with my own hand.22 If any one love not the Lord Jesus Christ, he shall be accursed when the Lord comes.23 The favor of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
