1Now about the giving of money for the saints, as I gave orders to the churches of Galatia, so do you.
1Now concerning the collections that are made for the saints: as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, so do ye also.
2On the first day of the week, let every one of you put by him in store, in measure as he has done well in business, so that it may not be necessary to get money together when I come.
2On the first day of the week, let every one of you put apart with himself, laying up what it shall well please him: that when I come, the collections be not then to be made.
3And when I come, I will send the men of your selection with letters to take the money you have got together to Jerusalem.
3And when I shall be with you, whomsoever you shall approve by letters, them will I send to carry your grace to Jerusalem.
4And if it is possible for me to go there, they will go with me.
4And if it be meet that I also go, they shall go with me.
5But I will come to you after I have gone through Macedonia, for that is my purpose;
5Now I will come to you, when I shall have passed through Macedonia. For I shall pass through Macedonia.
6But I may be with you for a time, or even for the winter, so that you may see me on my way, wherever I go.
6And with you perhaps I shall abide, or even spend the winter: that you may bring me on my way whithersoever I shall go.
7For it is not my desire to see you now, on my way; because it is my hope to be with you for some time, if that is the Lord's pleasure.
7For I will not see you now by the way: for I trust that I shall abide with you some time, if the Lord permit.
9For a great and important door there is open to me, and there are a number of people against me.
9For a great door and evident is opened unto me: and many adversaries.
10Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear; because he is doing the Lord's work, even as I am:
10Now if Timothy come, see that he be with you without fear: for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do.
11See then that he has the honour which is right. But send him on his way in peace, so that he may come to me: for I am looking for him with the brothers.
11Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct ye him on his way in peace, that he may come to me. For I look for him with the brethren.
12But as for Apollos, the brother, I had a great desire for him to come to you with the brothers, but it was not his pleasure to come now; but he will come when he has a chance.
12And touching our brother Apollo, I give you to understand that I much entreated him to come unto you with the brethren: and indeed it was not his will at all to come at this time. But he will come when he shall have leisure.
13Be on the watch, unmoved in the faith, and be strong like men.
13Watch ye: stand fast in the faith: do manfully and be strengthened.
15Now I make my request to you, my brothers, for you have knowledge that the house of Stephanas is the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they have made themselves the servants of the saints,
15And I beseech you, brethren, you know the house of Stephanus, and of Fortunatus, and of Achaicus, that they are the firstfruits of Achaia, and have dedicated themselves to the ministry of the saints:
16That you put yourselves under such, and under everyone who is helping the Lord's work.
16That you also be subject to such and to every one that worketh with us and laboureth.
17And I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for they have done what was needed to make your work complete.
17And I rejoice in the presence of Stephanus and Fortunatus and Achaicus: because that which was wanting on your part, they have supplied.
18For they gave comfort to my spirit and to yours: for which cause give respect to such people.
18For they have refreshed both my spirit and yours. Know them, therefore, that are such.
19The churches of Asia send their love to you. So do Aquila and Prisca, with the church which is in their house.
19The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house, with whom I also lodge.
20All the brothers send their love to you. Give one another a holy kiss.
20All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss.
21I, Paul, send you these words of love in my writing.
21The salutation of me Paul, with my own hand.
