1 | Now concerning the collection for the saints , as I have given order to the churches of Galatia , even so do ye . |
2 | 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 . |
3 | And when I come , whomsoever ye shall approve by [your] letters , them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem . |
4 | And if it be meet that I go also , they shall go with me . |
5 | Now I will come unto you , when I shall pass through Macedonia : for I do pass through Macedonia . |
6 | And it may be that I will abide , yea , and winter with you , that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go . |
7 | For I will not see you now by the way ; but I trust to tarry a while with you , if the Lord permit . |
8 | But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost . |
9 | For a great door and effectual is opened unto me , and [there are] many adversaries . |
10 | 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]. |
11 | 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 . |
12 | 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 . |
13 | Watch ye , stand fast in the faith , quit you like men , be strong . |
14 | Let all your things be done with charity . |
15 | 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 ,) |
16 | That ye submit yourselves unto such , and to every one that helpeth with [us], and laboureth . |
17 | I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus : for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied . |
18 | For they have refreshed my spirit and yours : therefore acknowledge ye them that are such . |
19 | The churches of Asia salute you . Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord , with the church that is in their house . |
20 | All the brethren greet you . Greet ye one another with an holy kiss . |
21 | The salutation of [me] Paul with mine own hand . |
22 | If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ , let him be Anathema Maranatha . |
23 | The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you . |
24 | My love [be] with you all in Christ Jesus . Amen . [epistle] to the Corinthians was written from Philippi by Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus and Timotheus > |
