Plans and greetings
1NOW ABOUT the collection in aid of God's people: you should follow the instructions I gave to our churches in Galatia.
2Every Sunday each of you is to put aside and keep by him whatever he can afford, so that there need be no collecting when I come.
3When I arrive, I will give letters of introduction to persons approved by you, and send them to carry your gift to Jerusalem.
4If it seems right for me to go as well, they can travel with me.
5I shall come to Corinth after passing through Macedonia -- for I am travelling by way of Macedonia --
6and I may stay some time with you, perhaps even for the whole winter; and then you can help me on my way wherever I go next.
7I do not want this to be a flying visit; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.
8But I shall remain at Ephesus until Pentecost,
9for a great opportunity has opened for effective work, and there is much opposition.
10If Timothy comes, see that you put him at his ease; for it is the Lord's work that he is engaged on, as I am myself;
11so no one must slight him. Speed him on his way with your blessing; for he is to join me, and I am waiting for him with our friends.
12As for our friend Apollos, I urged him strongly to go to Corinth with the others, but he was quite determined not to go at present; he will go when the time is right.
13Be on the alert; stand firm in the faith; be valiant, be strong.
14Let everything you do be done in love.
15One thing more, my friends. You know that the Stephanas family were the first converts in Achaia, and have devoted themselves to the service of God's people.
16I urge you to accept the leadership of people like them, of anyone who labours hard at our common task.
17It is a great pleasure to me that Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus have arrived, because they have done what you had no chance to do;
18they have raised my spirits -- and no doubt yours too. Such people deserve recognition.
19Greetings from the churches of Asia. Many greetings in the Lord from Aquila and Prisca and the church that meets in their house.
20Greetings from the whole brotherhood. Greet one another with the kiss of peace.
21This greeting is in my own hand -- Paul.
22If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be outcast. Marana tha -- Come, Lord!
23The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
24My love to you all in Christ Jesus.
