1Now concerning the collections that are made for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, so do ye also.
1Now about the collection for the saints, you are to do as I directed the churches of Galatia:
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.
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.
3And when I shall be with you, whomsoever you shall approve by letters, them will I send to carry your grace to Jerusalem.
3Then, on my arrival, I will send letters with those you recommend to carry your gift to Jerusalem.
4And if it be meet that I also go, they shall go with me.
4And if it is advisable for me to go also, they can travel with me.
5Now I will come to you, when I shall have passed through Macedonia. For I shall pass through Macedonia.
5After I go through Macedonia, however, I will come to you; for I will be going through Macedonia.
6And with you perhaps I shall abide, or even spend the winter: that you may bring me on my way whithersoever I shall go.
6Perhaps I will stay with you awhile, or even spend the winter, so that you can help me on my journey, wherever I go.
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.
7For I do not want to see you now only in passing; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.
8But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
8But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost,
9For a great door and evident is opened unto me: and many adversaries.
9because a great door for effective work has opened to me, even though many oppose me.
10Now if Timothy come, see that he be with you without fear, for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
13Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, do manfully, and be strengthened.
13Be on the alert. Stand firm in the faith. Be men of courage. Be strong.
14Let all your things be done in charity.
14Do everything in love.
15And I beseech you, brethren, you know the house of Stephanas, and of Fortunatus, and of Achaicus, that they are the firstfruits of Achaia, and have dedicated themselves to the ministry of the saints:
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,
16That you also be subject to such, and to every one that worketh with us, and laboureth.
16to submit to such as these, and to every fellow worker and laborer.
17And I rejoice in the presence of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, because that which was wanting on your part, they have supplied.
17I am glad that Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus have arrived, because they have supplied what was lacking from you.
18For they have refreshed both my spirit and yours. Know them, therefore, that are such.
18For they refreshed my spirit and yours as well. Show your appreciation, therefore, to such men.
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.
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.
20All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss.
20All the brothers here send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
21The salutation of me Paul, with my own hand.
21This greeting is in my own hand—Paul.
22If any man love not our Lord Jesus Christ, let him be anathema, maranatha.
22If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be under a curse. Come, O Lord!
23The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
23The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
24My charity be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
24My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
