1 But of the gathering of money that be made into saints [Forsooth of the collects, or gatherings of money, that be made into saints], as I have ordained in the churches of Galatia, so also do ye
|
1 Now about the collection for God's people: Do what I told the Galatian churches to do.
|
|
2 one day of the week. Each of you keep at himself [Each of you keep, or lay up, at himself], keeping that that pleaseth to him(self), that when I come, the gatherings be not made.
|
2 On the first day of every week, 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.
|
|
3 And when I shall be present, which men ye approve, I shall send them by epistles to bear your grace into Jerusalem. [Forsooth when I shall be present, whom ye shall prove by epistles, them I shall send to perfectly bear your grace into Jerusalem.]
|
3 Then, when I arrive, I will give letters of introduction to the men you approve and send them with your gift to Jerusalem.
|
|
4 That if it be worthy that also I go, they shall go with me.
|
4 If it seems advisable for me to go also, they will accompany me.
|
|
5 But I shall come to you, when I shall pass by Macedonia; for why I shall pass by Macedonia.
|
5 After I go through Macedonia, I will come to you--for I will be going through Macedonia.
|
|
6 But peradventure I shall dwell at you, or also dwell the winter, that ye lead me whither ever I shall go.
|
6 Perhaps I will stay with you awhile, or even spend the winter, so that you can help me on my journey, wherever I go.
|
|
7 And I will not now see you in my passing [Soothly I will not now see you in passing], for I hope to dwell with you a while, if the Lord shall suffer.
|
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.
|
|
8 But I shall dwell at Ephesus, unto Whitsuntide [till Whitsuntide].
|
8 But I will stay on at Ephesus until Pentecost,
|
|
9 For a great door and an open is opened to me [For why a great door and evident, or open, is opened to me], and many adversaries.
|
9 because a great door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many who oppose me.
|
|
10 And if Timothy come, see ye that he be without dread with you, for he worketh the work of the Lord, as [and] I.
|
10 If Timothy 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, just as I am.
|
|
11 Therefore no man despise him; but lead him forth in peace, that he come to me; for I abide him with brethren.
|
11 No one, then, should refuse to accept him. Send him on his way in peace so that he may return to me. I am expecting him along with the brothers.
|
|
12 But, brethren, I make known to you of Apollos, that I prayed him much, that he should come to you, with brethren. But it was not his will to come now; but he shall come, when he shall have leisure.
|
12 Now about our brother Apollos: 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 Walk ye, and stand ye in the faith; do ye manly, and be ye comforted in the Lord, [Wake ye, and stand ye in the faith; do ye manly, and be comforted in the Lord,]
|
13 Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong.
|
|
14 and be all your things done in charity.
|
14 Do everything in love.
|
|
15 And, brethren, I beseech you, ye know the house of Stephanas, and of Fortunatus, and Achaicus, for they be the first fruits of Achaia, and into ministry of saints they have ordained themselves;
|
15 You know that the household of Stephanas were the first converts in Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints. I urge you, brothers,
|
|
16 that also ye be subjects to such, and to each working together and travailing.
|
16 to submit to such as these and to everyone who joins in the work, and labors at it.
|
|
17 For I have joy in the presence of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for they filled that thing that failed to you [for they full-filled that thing that failed to you];
|
17 I was glad when Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus arrived, because they have supplied what was lacking from you.
|
|
18 for they have refreshed both my spirit and yours. Therefore know ye them, that be such manner men.
|
18 For they refreshed my spirit and yours also. Such men deserve recognition.
|
|
19 All the churches of Asia greet you well. Aquila and Priscilla, with their home-church, greet you much in the Lord, at the which also I am harboured [Aquila and Priscilla greet you much in the Lord, at whom I am harboured, with their home-church].
|
19 The churches in the province of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Priscilla greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house.
|
|
20 All brethren greet you well. Greet ye well together in holy kiss.
|
20 All the brothers here send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
|
|
21 My greeting by Paul's hand.
|
21 I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand.
|
|
22 If any man loveth not our Lord Jesus Christ, be he cursed, Maranatha. [If any man love not our Lord Jesus Christ, be he cursed, Maranatha, that is, in the coming of the Lord.]
|
22 If anyone does not love the Lord--a curse be on him. Come, O Lord !
|
|
23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
|
23 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
|
|
24 My charity be with you all in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.
|
24 My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
