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.
|
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.
|
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.
|
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,)
|
17. I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.
|
19. The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.
