**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. **4 **And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.

**5 **Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia. **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. **8 **But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost. **9 **For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and *there are* many adversaries.

**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.

**13 **Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. **14 **Let all your things be done with charity.

**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,) **16 **That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with *us*, and laboureth. **17 **I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied. **18 **For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.

**19 **The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house. **20 **All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.

**21 **The salutation of *me* Paul with mine own hand. **22 **If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha. **23 **The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ *be* with you. **24 **My love *be* with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen. \{*The first epistle to the Corinthians was written from Philippi by Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, and Timotheus.*}
