1 Collection for the Saints Now concerning Acts 11:29; Gal. 2:10 the collection for the saints, as I have given orders to the churches of Galatia, so you must do also:
2 Acts 20:7 On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper, that there be no collections when I come.
3 And when I come, 2 Cor. 3:1; 8:18 whomever you approve by your letters I will send to bear your gift to Jerusalem.
4 2 Cor. 8:4, 19 But if it is fitting that I go also, they will go with me.
5 Personal Plans Now I will come to you Acts 19:21;2 Cor. 1:15, 16 when I pass through Macedonia (for I am passing through Macedonia).
6 And it may be that I will remain, or even spend the winter with you, that you may Acts 15:3; Rom. 15:24;1 Cor. 16:11 send me on my journey, wherever I go.
7 For I do not wish to see you now on the way; but I hope to stay a while with you, Acts 18:21; James 4:15 if the Lord permits.
8 But I will tarry in Ephesus until Lev. 23:15–22 Pentecost.
9 For Acts 14:27;2 Cor. 2:12; Col. 4:3 a great and effective door has opened to me, and Acts 19:9 there are many adversaries.
10 And Acts 19:22;2 Tim. 1:2 if Timothy comes, see that he may be with you without fear; for Phil. 2:20;1 Thess. 3:2 he does the work of the Lord, as I also do.
11 1 Tim. 4:12; Titus 2:15 Therefore let no one despise him. But send him on his journey Acts 15:33 in peace, that he may come to me; for I am waiting for him with the brethren.
12 Now concerning our brother Acts 18:24;1 Cor. 1:12; 3:5 Apollos, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brethren, but he was quite unwilling to come at this time; however, he will come when he has a convenient time.
13 Final Exhortations Matt. 24:42 Watch, 1 Cor. 15:1; Gal. 5:1; Phil. 1:27; 4:1;1 Thess. 3:8;2 Thess. 2:15 stand fast in the faith, be brave, (Ps. 31:24; Eph. 3:16; 6:10; Col. 1:11) be strong.
14 (1 Pet. 4:8) Let all that you do be done with love.
15 I urge you, brethren—you know 1 Cor. 1:16 the household of Stephanas, that it is Rom. 16:5 the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to 2 Cor. 8:4 the ministry of the saints—
16 Eph. 5:21;1 Thess. 5:12; Heb. 13:17 that you also submit to such, and to everyone who works and (Heb. 6:10) labors with us.
17 I am glad about the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus, 2 Cor. 11:9; Phil. 2:30 for what was lacking on your part they supplied.
18 Col. 4:8 For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore Phil. 2:29 acknowledge such men.
19 Greetings and a Solemn Farewell The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you heartily in the Lord, Rom. 16:5 with the church that is in their house.
20 All the brethren greet you. Rom. 16:16 Greet one another with a holy kiss.
21 Rom. 16:22; Gal. 6:11; Col. 4:18;2 Thess. 3:17; Philem. 19 The salutation with my own hand—Paul’s.
22 If anyone Eph. 6:24 does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, Gal. 1:8, 9 let him be accursed. Jude 14, 15 O Lord, come!
23 Rom. 16:20 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
