And about the collection for the saints, as I charged the assemblies of Galatia, so also you do.
2On one of the sabbaths, let each of you put by himself, storing up whatever he is prospered, that there not be collections then when I come.
3And when I arrive, whomever you approve through these epistles, I will send to carry your grace to Jerusalem.
4And if it is suitable for me to go also, they shall go with me.
5But I will come to you when I go through Macedonia. For I am going through Macedonia.
6And possibly I will stay with you, or even spend the winter, that you may set me forward wherever I may go.
7For I do not desire to see you now in passage, but I am hoping to remain some time with you, if the Lord permits.
8But I will remain in Ephesus until Pentecost.
9For a door opened to me, great and effective, and many are opposing.
10But if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear; for he works the work of the Lord, even as I do.
11Then do not let any despise him, but set him forward in peace, that he may come to me; for I am waiting for him with the brothers.
12And concerning the brother Apollos, I much urged him that he come to you with the brothers, but it was not altogether his will that he come now. But he will come when he has opportunity.
13Watch! Stand fast in the faith! Be men! Be strong!
14Let all your things be in love.
15But I exhort you, brothers. You know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruit of Achaia, and they appointed themselves to ministry to the saints.
16See that you also may submit to such ones, and to everyone working and laboring with me.
17And I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas, and of Fortunatus and Achaicus, because these supplied your lack.
18For they refreshed my spirit and yours. So then recognize such ones.
19The assemblies of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you much in the Lord, with the assembly in their house.
20The brothers all greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
21The greeting with my hand, Paul.
22If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. The Lord comes!
23The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
24My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
