verse #1

Now concerning the collection for the saints: as I commanded the assemblies of Galatia, you do likewise.

verse #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.

verse #3

When I arrive, I will send whoever you approve with letters to carry your gracious gift to Jerusalem.

verse #4

If it is appropriate for me to go also, they will go with me.

verse #5

I will come to you when I have passed through Macedonia, for I am passing through Macedonia.

verse #6

But with you it may be that I will stay with you, or even winter with you, that you may send me on my journey wherever I go.

verse #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.

verse #8

But I will stay at Ephesus until Pentecost,

verse #9

for a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

verse #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.

verse #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.

verse #12

Now concerning Apollos the brother, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers, but it was not at all his desire to come now; but he will come when he has an opportunity.

verse #13

Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!

verse #14

Let all that you do be done in love.

verse #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—

verse #16

that you also be in subjection to such, and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.

verse #17

I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for that which was lacking on your part, they supplied.

verse #18

For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge those who are like that.

verse #19

The assemblies of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you warmly in the Lord, together with the assembly that is in their house.

verse #20

All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

verse #21

This greeting is by me, Paul, with my own hand.
