Now
concerning the collection for the saints, as I
have given order to the churches of Galatia, even
so do ye.
02 Upon 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.
03 And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve
by your letters, them will I send to bring your
liberality unto Jerusalem.
04 And if it be meet that I go also, they shall
go with me.
05 Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass
through Macedonia: for I do pass through
Macedonia.
06 And it may be that I will abide, yea, and
winter with you, that ye may bring me on my
journey whithersoever I go.
07 For I will not see you now by the way; but I
trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord
permit.
08 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
09 For a great door and effectual is opened unto
me, and there are many adversaries.
10 Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with
you without fear: for he worketh the work of the
Lord, as I also do.
11 Let 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.
12 As 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.

13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you
like men, be strong.
14 Let all your things be done with charity.
15 I 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,)
16 That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to
every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth.
17 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and
Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was
lacking on your part they have supplied.
18 For they have refreshed my spirit and your's:
therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.
19 The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and
Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the
church that is in their house.
20 All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one
another with an holy kiss.
21 The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.
22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let
him be Anathema Maranatha.
23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with
you.
24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
