1 Now concerning the collection that is for the saints, just as I had prescribed to the assemblies of Galatia, in that manner also you should do.2 On every first of the week each of you by himself must lay up, treasuring whatever he may grant for the journey, in order that when I should come there would not be collections then.3 And when I have arrived, whomever you may approve I will send them with instructions, to have your kindness carried off to Jerusalem;4 and if perhaps it would be sufficient for me also to make the conveyance, they shall go across along with me.5 Now I will come to you whenever I shall have passed through Makedonia; for I am passing through Makedonia.6 Then being engaged with you I will remain, or I will even winter, that you may escort me to wherever I may traverse.7 For I do not presently desire to see you in passing, since I expect to remain with you some time, if perhaps the Prince permits.8 Now I will remain in Ephesos until the Pentecost,9 indeed a great and productive opportunity has been opened to me, and many are in opposition.10 Now if perhaps Timotheos should come, you see that he may be without fear before you, for he performs the work of the Prince, even as I.11 Therefore not anyone should set him at naught, but send him forward in peace, in order that he would come to me, for I expect him along with the brethren.12 Now concerning the brother Apollos. I had much encouraged him, in order that he may come to you with the brethren, and not at all had he a desire that he would come now, but he will come whenever he has the opportunity.13 Be alert, be established in the faith, behave as men, be strong.14 All things of yours must be done in love.15 Now I exhort you, brethren, (you know the house of Stephanas, that they are first fruits of Achaia, and they have appointed themselves for service to the saints,)16 that you also should be subject to such as these, and to each who is cooperating and toiling.17 And I am delighted at the presence of Stephanas and Fortounatos and Achaikos, seeing that they have filled your deficiency.18 Indeed they have relieved my Spirit and yours; therefore you should acknowledge such as these.19 The assemblies of Asia greet you. Akulas and Priska greet you greatly in the Prince, with the assembly at their house.20 All the brethren greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.21 This salutation is of Paul with my own hand.22 If anyone does not love the Prince, he must be accursed, a rebel to be destroyed.23 The favor of the Prince, Yahshua Christ, is with you.24 My love is with all of you in Christ Yahshua.
