1Now about the collection for the saints, you are to do as I directed the churches of Galatia:
1Περὶ δὲ τῆς λογείας τῆς εἰς τοὺς ἁγίους, ὥσπερ διέταξα ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις τῆς Γαλατίας, οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς ποιήσατε.
2On the first day of every week, each of you should set aside a portion of his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will be needed.
2κατὰ μίαν ⸀σαββάτου ἕκαστος ὑμῶν παρʼ ἑαυτῷ τιθέτω θησαυρίζων ὅ τι ⸀ἐὰν εὐοδῶται, ἵνα μὴ ὅταν ἔλθω τότε λογεῖαι γίνωνται.
3Then, on my arrival, I will send letters with those you recommend to carry your gift to Jerusalem.
3ὅταν δὲ παραγένωμαι, οὓς ⸀ἐὰν δοκιμάσητε διʼ ἐπιστολῶν, τούτους πέμψω ἀπενεγκεῖν τὴν χάριν ὑμῶν εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ·
4And if it is advisable for me to go also, they can travel with me.
4ἐὰν δὲ ⸂ἄξιον ᾖ⸃ τοῦ κἀμὲ πορεύεσθαι, σὺν ἐμοὶ πορεύσονται.
5After I go through Macedonia, however, I will come to you; for I will be going through Macedonia.
5Ἐλεύσομαι δὲ πρὸς ὑμᾶς ὅταν Μακεδονίαν διέλθω, Μακεδονίαν γὰρ διέρχομαι,
6Perhaps I will stay with you awhile, or even spend the winter, so that you can help me on my journey, wherever I go.
6πρὸς ὑμᾶς δὲ τυχὸν ⸀παραμενῶ ἢ ⸀καὶ παραχειμάσω, ἵνα ὑμεῖς με προπέμψητε οὗ ἐὰν πορεύωμαι.
7For I do not want to see you now only in passing; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.
7οὐ θέλω γὰρ ὑμᾶς ἄρτι ἐν παρόδῳ ἰδεῖν, ἐλπίζω ⸀γὰρ χρόνον τινὰ ἐπιμεῖναι πρὸς ὑμᾶς, ἐὰν ὁ κύριος ⸀ἐπιτρέψῃ.
8But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost,
8⸀ἐπιμενῶ δὲ ἐν Ἐφέσῳ ἕως τῆς πεντηκοστῆς·
9because a great door for effective work has opened to me, even though many oppose me.
9θύρα γάρ μοι ἀνέῳγεν μεγάλη καὶ ἐνεργής, καὶ ἀντικείμενοι πολλοί.
10If Timothy comes, see to it that he has nothing to fear while he is with you, for he is doing the work of the Lord, just as I am.
10Ἐὰν δὲ ἔλθῃ Τιμόθεος, βλέπετε ἵνα ἀφόβως γένηται πρὸς ὑμᾶς, τὸ γὰρ ἔργον κυρίου ἐργάζεται ὡς ⸀κἀγώ·
11No one, then, should treat him with contempt. Send him on his way in peace so that he can return to me, for I am expecting him along with the brothers.
11μή τις οὖν αὐτὸν ἐξουθενήσῃ. προπέμψατε δὲ αὐτὸν ἐν εἰρήνῃ, ἵνα ἔλθῃ πρός ⸀με, ἐκδέχομαι γὰρ αὐτὸν μετὰ τῶν ἀδελφῶν.
12Now about our brother Apollos: I strongly urged him to go to you with the brothers. He was not at all inclined to go now, but he will go when he has the opportunity.
12Περὶ δὲ Ἀπολλῶ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ, πολλὰ παρεκάλεσα αὐτὸν ἵνα ἔλθῃ πρὸς ὑμᾶς μετὰ τῶν ἀδελφῶν· καὶ πάντως οὐκ ἦν θέλημα ἵνα νῦν ἔλθῃ, ἐλεύσεται δὲ ὅταν εὐκαιρήσῃ.
13Be on the alert. Stand firm in the faith. Be men of courage. Be strong.
13Γρηγορεῖτε, στήκετε ἐν τῇ πίστει, ἀνδρίζεσθε, κραταιοῦσθε.
14Do everything in love.
14πάντα ὑμῶν ἐν ἀγάπῃ γινέσθω.
15You know that Stephanas and his household were the first converts in Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints. Now I urge you, brothers,
15Παρακαλῶ δὲ ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί· οἴδατε τὴν οἰκίαν Στεφανᾶ, ὅτι ἐστὶν ἀπαρχὴ τῆς Ἀχαΐας καὶ εἰς διακονίαν τοῖς ἁγίοις ἔταξαν ἑαυτούς·
16to submit to such as these, and to every fellow worker and laborer.
16ἵνα καὶ ὑμεῖς ὑποτάσσησθε τοῖς τοιούτοις καὶ παντὶ τῷ συνεργοῦντι καὶ κοπιῶντι.
17I am glad that Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus have arrived, because they have supplied what was lacking from you.
17χαίρω δὲ ἐπὶ τῇ παρουσίᾳ Στεφανᾶ καὶ Φορτουνάτου καὶ Ἀχαϊκοῦ, ὅτι τὸ ⸀ὑμέτερον ὑστέρημα οὗτοι ἀνεπλήρωσαν,
18For they refreshed my spirit and yours as well. Show your appreciation, therefore, to such men.
18ἀνέπαυσαν γὰρ τὸ ἐμὸν πνεῦμα καὶ τὸ ὑμῶν. ἐπιγινώσκετε οὖν τοὺς τοιούτους.
19The churches in the province of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Prisca greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house.
19Ἀσπάζονται ὑμᾶς αἱ ἐκκλησίαι τῆς Ἀσίας. ⸀ἀσπάζεται ὑμᾶς ἐν κυρίῳ πολλὰ Ἀκύλας καὶ ⸀Πρίσκα σὺν τῇ κατʼ οἶκον αὐτῶν ἐκκλησίᾳ.
20All the brothers here send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
20ἀσπάζονται ὑμᾶς οἱ ἀδελφοὶ πάντες. ἀσπάσασθε ἀλλήλους ἐν φιλήματι ἁγίῳ.
21This greeting is in my own hand—Paul.
21Ὁ ἀσπασμὸς τῇ ἐμῇ χειρὶ Παύλου.
22If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be under a curse. Come, O Lord!
22εἴ τις οὐ φιλεῖ τὸν ⸀κύριον, ἤτω ἀνάθεμα. ⸂Μαράνα θά⸃.
23The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
23ἡ χάρις τοῦ κυρίου ⸀Ἰησοῦ μεθʼ ὑμῶν.
24My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
24ἡ ἀγάπη μου μετὰ πάντων ὑμῶν ἐν Χριστῷ ⸀Ἰησοῦ.
