{1Co 16:1-3, Acts 24:17, Romans 15:27, 2 Corinthians 8, 9, Gal 2:10.}

             ^16:1 Now concerning the collection, the one ^*for the holy-ones, just-like I commanded to the congregations^* of Galatia, so you^° also, practice^° such! ^16:2 Every first day of the week, let each of you^° place beside himself, storing up what things, if he may be prospered in anything, in-order-that whenever I come, no collections may happen then. ^16:3 Now whenever I come^*, I will be sending these, whomever you^° approve through letters, to carry your^° favor away to Jerusalem; ^16:4 and if it is also worthy for me to travel there, they will be traveling together-with me. ^16:5 But I will be coming to you^°, whenever I go through Macedonia, for^* I am going through Macedonia. ^16:6 Now I have obtained passage to you^°, I will be remaining or even will be wintering with you^°, in-order-that you^° may send me onward to wherever I may travel. ^16:7 For^* I do not wish to see you^° now on the way, but I am hoping to remain with you^° some time, if the Lord permits^*. ^16:8 But I will be remaining in Ephesus until the Pentecost, ^16:9 for^* a great and effective door has opened to me and many are laying in opposition to me.

             ^16:10 Now if Timothy comes, see^° to it in-order-that he may become fearless toward you^°; for^* he is working the work of the Lord, as I also am. ^16:11 Therefore, do not let anyone scorn him. But send^° him onward in peace, in-order-that he should come to me, for^* I am waiting for him with the brethren. ^16:12 Now concerning Apollos the brother, I encouraged him many times in-order-that he should come to you^° with the brethren and it was certainly not his will in-order-that he should come now, but he will be coming whenever he should have an opportunity.

             ^16:13 Watch^°. Stand-firm^° in the faith. Be^° manly. Be^° powerful. ^16:14 Let all your^° things happen in love^*.

             ^16:15 Now you^° know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruit of Achaia and that they have appointed themselves into the service ^*for the holy-ones. I encourage you^° brethren, ^16:16 in-order-that you^° may also be subject to such people and to everyone working together-with us and laboring with them. ^16:17 Now I am rejoicing upon the presence of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because these fulfilled your^° lack, ^16:18 for^* they gave-rest to my spirit and yours^°. Therefore, recognize^° such people.

             ^16:19 The congregations^* of Asia greet you^°. Aquila and Priscilla greet you^° much in the Lord, together-with the congregation^* in their house. ^16:20 All the brethren greet you^°. Greet^° one another with^* a holy kiss.

             ^16:21 The greeting from Paul with my own hand. ^16:22 If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. The Lord has-come! ^16:23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is with you^°. ^16:24 My love^* is with all of you^° in Christ Jesus. Amen.
