1Now concerning the collection that [is] for the saints, as I directed the churches of Galatia, so also you⁺ are to do.
2Every first of the week, let each one of you⁺ put aside, treasuring up whatever he may be prospered in, so that when I might come, then there should be no collections.
3And when I shall have arrived, whomever you⁺ might approve, I will send these with letters to carry your⁺ gracious gift to Jerusalem.
4And if it may be worthy for me also to go, they will go with me.
5But I will come to you⁺ when I shall have gone through Macedonia, for I am going through Macedonia.
6And perhaps I will stay with you⁺, or even I will winter, so that you⁺ may send me forth wherever I may go.
7For I do not want to see you⁺ now in passing; for I hope to remain a certain time with you⁺, if the Lord might permit.
8But I will remain in Ephesus until Pentecost.
9For a door has opened to me, great and effective, and many are opposing.
10Now if Timothy might come, see that he may be with you⁺ without fear, for he works the work of the Lord, as I also.
11Therefore no one should despise him. But send him forth in peace, so that he might come to me; for I am expecting him with the brothers.
12Now concerning Apollos the brother, I exhorted him much that he should go to you⁺ with the brothers, and [his] will was not at all that he should come now; but he will come when he shall have opportunity.
13Be watchful; stand firm in the faith; act like men; be strong.
14Let all your⁺ things be done in love.
15Now I exhort you⁺, brothers—you⁺ know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruit of Achaia, and they devoted themselves to service to the saints—
16that you⁺ also be subject to such, and to everyone working with [us] and laboring.
17Now I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because these filled up your⁺ deficiency.
18For they refreshed my spirit and yours⁺. Therefore recognize such [men].
19The churches of Asia greet you⁺. Aquila and Prisca, with the church at their house, greet you⁺ much in the Lord.
20All the brothers greet you⁺. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
21The greeting [is] in my own hand—Paul.
22If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be accursed. Maranatha!
23The grace of the Lord Jesus [be] with you⁺.
24My love [be] with all of you⁺ in Christ Jesus. Amen.
