| 1 Now, concerning the collection which is for the saints, just as I directed the assemblies of Galatia, so, also do, ye:– |
|
| 2 Upon the first of the week, let, each one of you, put, by itself, in store, as he may be prospering,–lest, as soon as I come, then, collections, should be in progress. |
|
| 3 And, as soon as I arrive, whomsoever ye shall approve by letters, these, will I send, to bear away your favour unto Jerusalem: |

| 4 And, if it be meet that, I also, be journeying, with me, shall they journey. |
|

|
| 5 Now I will come unto you, as soon as I have passed through Macedonia,–for I do pass through Macedonia, |
|
| 6 And, with you, I may perhaps sojourn, or winter, that, ye, may set me forward, whithersoever I may be journeying. |
|
| 7 For I do not wish to see you, just now, by the way; for I hope to remain, some time, with you,–if, the Lord, permit. |

| 12 But, concerning Apollos the brother, much, did I beseech him, that he would come unto you, with the brethren, but there was, by no means, any will, that he should come, now;–he will come, however, as soon as he hath good opportunity. |

|
| 16 That, ye also, be submitting yourselves unto such as these,–and unto everyone helping in the work and toiling. |
|
| 17 I Rejoice, moreover, in the presence of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus: because, your own shortcoming, these, have filled up:– |
|
| 18 They have given rest, in fact, unto my spirit, and yours: hold in acknowledgment, therefore, such as these. |

|
| 24 My love, be with you all, in Christ Jesus. |
