| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1With regard to the collection for the saints, please follow the directions that I gave to the churches of Galatia: |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2On the first day of the week, each of you should set aside some income and save it to the extent that God has blessed you, so that a collection will not have to be made when I come. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Then, when I arrive, I will send those whom you approve with letters of explanation to carry your gift to Jerusalem. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4And if it seems advisable that I should go also, they will go with me. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5But I will come to you after I have gone through Macedonia--for I will be going 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 can send me on my journey, wherever I go. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7For I do not want to see you now in passing, since I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord allows. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost, |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9because a door of great opportunity stands wide open for me, but there are many opponents. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Now if Timothy comes, see that he has nothing to fear among you, for he is doing the Lord's work, as I am too. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11So then, let no one treat him with contempt. But send him on his way in peace so that he may come to me. For I am expecting him with the brothers. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12With regard to our brother Apollos: I strongly encouraged him to visit you with the other brothers, but it was simply not his intention to come now. He will come when he has the opportunity. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Stay alert, stand firm in the faith, show courage, be strong. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Everything you do should be done in love. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Now, brothers and sisters, you know about the household of Stephanus, that as the first converts of Achaia, they devoted themselves to ministry for the saints. I urge you |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16also to submit to people like this, and to everyone who cooperates in the work and labors hard. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17I was glad about the arrival of Stephanus, Fortunatus, and Achaicus because they have supplied the fellowship with you that I lacked. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18For they refreshed my spirit and yours. So then, recognize people like this. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19The churches in the province of Asia send greetings to you. Aquila and Prisca greet you warmly in the Lord, with the church that meets in their house. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20All the brothers and sisters send greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21I, Paul, send this greeting with my own hand. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22Let anyone who has no love for the Lord 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 all of you in Christ Jesus. |
