The Collection for the Saints
1Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.+ 2Upon 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.+ 3And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.+ 4And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.+Paul’s Travel Plans
5Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.+ 6And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go.+ 7For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.+ 8But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.+ 9For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.+Timothy and Apollos
10Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do.+ 11Let 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.+ 12As 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.+Concluding Exhortations
13Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.+ 14Let all your things be done with charity.+ 15I 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,)+ 16That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth.+ 17I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.+ 18For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.+Signature and Final Greetings
Colossians 4:15–18; 2 Thessalonians 3:16–18
19The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.+ 20All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.+ 21The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.+ 22If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maran-atha.+ 23The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.+ 24My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen. The first epistle to the Corinthians was written from Philippi by Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, and Timotheus.+
