CHAPTER 16

Now

about

the

collection

for

the

saints,

you

are to do

as

I directed

the

churches

of Galatia:

On the first day

of every

week,

each

of you

should set

aside

a portion

of his income,

saving it up,

so that

when

I come

no

collections

will be needed.

Then,

on my arrival,

I will send

letters

with

those

you recommend

to carry

your

gift

to

Jerusalem.

And

if

it is

advisable

for

me

to go also,

they can travel

with

me.

After

I go through

Macedonia,

however,

I will come

to

you;

for

I will be going through

Macedonia.

Perhaps

I will stay

with

you awhile,

or

even

spend the winter,

so that

you

can help

me on my journey,

wherever

I may go.

For

I do not want

to see

you

now

only in

passing;

I hope

to spend

some

time

with

you,

if

the

Lord

permits.

But

I will stay

in

Ephesus

until

Pentecost,

because

a great

door

for

effective work

has opened

to me,

even though

many

oppose me.

If

Timothy

comes,

see to it

that

he has

nothing to fear

while he is with

you,

for

he is doing

the

Lord’s

work,

just as

I am.

No

one,

then,

should treat him with contempt.

Send

him on his way

in

peace

so that

he can return

to

me,

for

I am expecting

him

along with

the

brothers.

Now

about

our

brother

Apollos:

I strongly urged

him

to

go

to

you

with

the

brothers.

He was

not

at all

inclined

to

go

now,

but

he will go

when

he has the opportunity.

Be on the alert.

Stand firm

in

the

faith.

Be men of courage.

Be strong.

Do

everything

in

love.

You know

that

Stephanas

and his

household

were

the first converts

in Achaia,

and

they have devoted

themselves

to the

service

of the

saints.

Now

I urge

you,

brothers,

to

submit

to such as these,

and

to every

fellow worker

and

laborer.

I am glad that

Stephanas,

Fortunatus,

and

Achaicus

have arrived,

because

they

have supplied

what

was lacking

from you.

For

they refreshed

my

spirit

and

yours as well.

Show your appreciation,

therefore,

to such men.

The

churches

in the province of Asia

send you greetings.

Aquila

and

Prisca

greet

you

warmly

in

the Lord,

and so does

the

church

that meets at

their

house.

All

the

brothers here

send you greetings.

Greet

one another

with

a holy

kiss.

This

greeting

is in my

own

hand—

Paul.

If

anyone

does not

love

the

Lord,

let him be

under a divine curse.

Come,

O Lord!

The

grace

of the

Lord

Jesus

be with

you.

My

love

be with

all

of you

in

Christ

Jesus.

Amen.
