- 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.
- 11
- So let no one despise him. Help him on his way in peace, 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 people.
- 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.
