The Collection for God's People

1 Now about the collection¹ for God's people:² Do what I told the Galatian³ churches to do. 2 On the first day of every week,⁴ each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made.⁵ 3 Then, when I arrive, I will give letters of introduction to the men you approve⁶ and send them with your gift to Jerusalem. 4 If it seems advisable for me to go also, they will accompany me.

Personal Requests

5 After I go through Macedonia, I will come to you⁷--for I will be going through Macedonia.⁸ 6 Perhaps I will stay with you awhile, or even spend the winter, so that you can help me on my journey,⁹ wherever I go. 7 I do not want to see you now and make only a passing visit; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.¹⁰ 8 But I will stay on at Ephesus¹¹ until Pentecost,¹² 9 because a great door for effective work has opened to me,¹³ and there are many who oppose me. 10 If Timothy¹⁴ comes, see to it that he has nothing to fear while he is with you, for he is carrying on the work of the Lord,¹⁵ just as I am. 11 No one, then, should refuse to accept him.¹⁶ Send him on his way¹⁷ in peace¹⁸ so that he may return to me. I am expecting him along with the brothers. 12 Now about our brother Apollos:¹⁹ I strongly urged him to go to you with the brothers. He was quite unwilling to go now, but he will go when he has the opportunity. 13 Be on your guard; stand firm²⁰ in the faith; be men of courage; be strong.²¹ 14 Do everything in love.²² 15 You know that the household of Stephanas²³ were the first converts²⁴ in Achaia,²⁵ and they have devoted themselves to the service²⁶ of the saints.²⁷ I urge you, brothers, 16 to submit²⁸ to such as these and to everyone who joins in the work, and labors at it. 17 I was glad when Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus arrived, because they have supplied what was lacking from you.²⁹ 18 For they refreshed³⁰ my spirit and yours also. Such men deserve recognition.³¹

Final Greetings

19 The churches in the province of Asia³² send you greetings. Aquila and Priscilla^a³³ greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house.³⁴ 20 All the brothers here send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.³⁵ 21 I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand.³⁶ 22 If anyone does not love the Lord³⁷--a curse³⁸ be on him. Come, O Lord^b !³⁹ 23 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.⁴⁰ 24 My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.^c
