| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Now concerning the collection for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also are to do. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that there will be no collecting when I come. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3And when I arrive, I will send those whom you accredit by letter to carry your gift to Jerusalem. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4If it seems advisable that I should go also, they will accompany me. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5I will visit you after passing through Macedonia, for I intend to pass through Macedonia, |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6and perhaps I will stay with you or even spend the winter, so that you may help me on my journey, wherever I go. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7For I do not want to see you now just in passing. I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost, |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9for a wide door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many adversaries. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10When Timothy comes, see that you put him at ease among you, for he is doing the work of the Lord, as I am. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11So let no one despise him. Help him on his way in peace, that he may return to me, for I am expecting him with the brothers. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Now concerning our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to visit you with the other brothers, but it was not at all his will to come now. He will come when he has opportunity. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Let all that you do be done in love. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Now I urge you, brothers—you know that the household of Stephanas were the first converts in Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints— |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16be subject to such as these, and to every fellow worker and laborer. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they have made up for your absence, |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18for they refreshed my spirit as well as yours. Give recognition to such people. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19The churches of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Prisca, together with the church in their house, send you hearty greetings in the Lord. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20All the brothers send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22If anyone has no love for the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord, come! |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen. |
