✧Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. ✧2Upon the first [day] of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as [God] hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come. ✧3And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by [your] letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem. ✧4And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me. ✧5Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia. ✧6And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go. ✧7For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit. ✧8But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost. ✧9For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and [there are] many adversaries. ✧10Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also [do]. ✧11Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come unto me: for I look for him with the brethren. ✧12As touching [our] brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come unto you with the brethren: but his will was not at all to come at this time; but he will come when he shall have convenient time. ✧13Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. ✧14Let all your things be done with charity. ✧15I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and [that] they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,) ✧16That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with [us], and laboureth. ✧17I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied. ✧18For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such. ✧19The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house. ✧20All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss. ✧21The salutation of [me] Paul with mine own hand. ✧22If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha. ✧23The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you. ✧24My love [be] with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
