ASV
Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I gave order to the churches of Galatia, so also do ye.
2
ASV
Upon the first day of the week let each one of you lay by him in store, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come.
3
ASV
And when I arrive, whomsoever ye shall approve, them will I send with letters to carry your bounty unto Jerusalem:
4
ASV
and if it be meet for me to go also, they shall go with me.
5
ASV
But I will come unto you, when I shall have passed through Macedonia; for I pass through Macedonia;
6
ASV
but with you it may be that I shall abide, or even winter, that ye may set me forward on my journey whithersoever I go.
7
ASV
For I do not wish to see you now by the way; for I hope to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.
8
ASV
But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost;
9
ASV
for a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.
10
ASV
Now if Timothy come, see that he be with you without fear; for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do:
11
ASV
let no man therefore despise him. But set him forward on his journey in peace, that he may come unto me: for I expect him with the brethren.
12
ASV
But as touching Apollos the brother, I besought him much to come unto you with the brethren: and it was not at all [his] will to come now; but he will come when he shall have opportunity.
13
ASV
Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
14
ASV
Let all that ye do be done in love.
15
ASV
Now I beseech you, brethren (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have set themselves to minister unto the saints),
16
ASV
that ye also be in subjection unto such, and to every one that helpeth in the work and laboreth.
17
ASV
And I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they supplied.
18
ASV
For they refreshed my spirit and yours: acknowledge ye therefore them that are such.
19
ASV
The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Prisca salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.
20
ASV
All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss.
21
ASV
The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.
22
ASV
If any man loveth not the Lord, let him be anathema. Maranatha.
23
ASV
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
24
ASV
My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
