| ¶ | Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. | ||
| Upon the first [day] of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as [God] hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come. | |||
| And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by [your] letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem. | |||
| And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me. | |||
| ¶ | Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia. | ||
| And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go. | |||
| For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit. | |||
| But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost. | |||
| For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and [there are] many adversaries. | |||
| Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also [do]. | |||
| Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come unto me: for I look for him with the brethren. | |||
| As touching [our] brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come unto you with the brethren: but his will was not at all to come at this time; but he will come when he shall have convenient time. | |||
| ¶ | Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. | ||
| Let all your things be done with charity. | |||
| I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and [that] they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,) | |||
| That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with [us], and laboureth. | |||
| I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied. | |||
| For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such. | |||
| ¶ | The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house. | ||
| All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss. | |||
| The salutation of [me] Paul with mine own hand. | |||
| If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha. | |||
| The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you. | |||
| My love [be] with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
