Instructions and Greetings

1NowG1161 concerningG4012 1the collectionG3048 for 23the saintsG40, as 4I directedG1299 the churchesG1577 of 5GalatiaG1053, soG3779 you are to doG4160 asG2532 wellG2532. 2On 6the firstG1520 day of everyG2596 weekG4521, eachG1538 of you is to 7putG5087 asideG3844G1438 and saveG2343 as he may prosperG2137, soG2443 thatG2443 8noG3361 collectionsG3048 need to be madeG1096 whenG5119G3752 I comeG2064. 3WhenG3752 I arriveG3854, 9whomeverG3739G1437 you approveG1381, I will sendG3992 them with lettersG1992 to takeG667 your giftG5485 to JerusalemG2419; 4and ifG1437 it is appropriateG514 for me to goG4198 alsoG2532, they will goG4198 with me.

5But I 10will comeG2064 to you afterG3752 I goG1330 throughG1330 11MacedoniaG3109; for I 12am goingG1330 throughG1330 MacedoniaG3109, 6and perhapsG5177 I will stayG2650 with you orG2228 evenG2532 spendG3914 theG3914 winterG3914, soG2443 thatG2443 you may 13sendG4311 me onG4311 my wayG4311 whereverG3757G1437 I goG4198. 7For I do not wantG2309 to seeG3708 you nowG737 14just in passingG3938; for I hopeG1679 to remainG1961 with you for someG5100 timeG5550, 15ifG1437 the LordG2962 permitsG2010. 8But I will remainG1961 in 16EphesusG2181 untilG2193 17PentecostG4005; 9for a 18wideG3173 doorG2374 19for effectiveG1756 service has openedG455 to me, and 20there are manyG4183 adversariesG480.

10NowG1161 ifG1437 21TimothyG5095 comesG2064, seeG991 that he 22hasG1096 noG870 reasonG870 toG870 beG870 afraidG870 while amongG4314 you, for he is doingG2038 23the Lord’sG2962 workG2041, as I alsoG2532 am. 1124SoG3767 do not lookG1848 downG1848 onG1848 him, anyoneG5100. But 25sendG4311 him onG4311 his wayG4311 26in peaceG1515, soG2443 thatG2443 he may comeG2064 to me; for I expectG1551 him with the brothersG80.

12NowG1161 concerningG4012 our brotherG80 27ApollosG625, I stronglyG4183 encouragedG3870 him to comeG2064 to you with the brothersG80; and it was not atG3843 allG3843 his desireG2307 to comeG2064 nowG3568, but he will comeG2064 whenG3752 he hasG2119 the opportunityG2119.

1328Be on the alertG1127, 29standG4739 firmG4739 in the faithG4102, 30actG407 likeG407 menG407, 31beG2901 strongG2901. 14AllG3956 that you do must be doneG1096 32in loveG26.

15NowG1161 I urgeG3870 you, brothersG80 and sisters: you knowG3609 the 33householdG3614 of StephanasG4734, that 34they are the 35firstG536 fruitsG536 of 36AchaiaG882, and that they have devotedG5021 themselvesG1438 to 37ministryG1248 to 38the 39saintsG40; 16I urge that 40you alsoG2532 beG5293 subjectG5293 to suchG5108 asG5108 theseG5108 and to everyoneG3956 who helpsG4903 inG4903 theG4903 workG4903 and laborsG2872. 17I rejoiceG5463 overG1909 the 4142comingG3952 of StephanasG4734, FortunatusG5415, and AchaicusG883, becauseG3754 they have 43suppliedG378 44whatG5303 wasG5303 lackingG5303 on your part. 18For they 45have refreshedG373 my spiritG4151 and yoursG4771. ThereforeG3767 46acknowledgeG1921 suchG5108 menG5108.

19The churchesG1577 of 4748AsiaG773 greetG782 you. 49AquilaG207 and PriscaG4251 greetG782 you heartilyG4183 in the LordG2962, with 50the churchG1577 that is in their houseG3624. 20AllG3956 the brothersG80 and sisters greetG782 you. 51GreetG782 oneG240 anotherG240 with a holyG40 kissG5370.

21The greetingG783 is in 52my ownG1699 handG5495--that of PaulG3972. 22IfG1487 anyoneG5100 does not loveG5368 the LordG2962, he is to be 5354accursedG331. 5556MaranathaG3134! 2357The graceG5485 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424 be with you. 24My loveG26 be with you allG3956 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424. AmenG281.
