The Collection for the Saints 1Concerning the gatheryng for the saintes, as I haue ordeined in the Churches of Galacia, euen so do ye.
2Upon some Sabboth daye, let euery one of you put asyde by hym selfe, and laye vp as God hath prospered hym, that then there be no gatherynges when I come.
3When I am come, whomsoeuer ye shall alowe by Paul’s Travel Plans 5I wyll come vnto you, after I haue gone ouer Macedonia (For I wyl passe through Macedonia)
6And it may be, that I wyll abyde, yea or wynter with you, that ye may bryng me on my way whyther soeuer I go.
7For I wyll not see you nowe in my passage, but I trust to abyde a whyle with you, yf the Lorde shall suffer me.
8I wyll tarie at Ephesus vntyll whytsontyde:
9For a great doore and effectuall is opened vnto me, and there are many aduersaries. Timothy and Apollos 10Yf Timotheus come, see that he be without feare with you: For he worketh the worke of the Lorde, as I do.
11Let no man therfore despise hym, but conuay him foorth in peace, that he may come vnto me: for I loke for hym with the brethren.
12As touchyng our brother Apollo, I greatly desired hym to come vnto you with the brethren, but his mynde was not at all to come at this tyme: Howebeit, he wyll come when he shall haue conuenient tyme. Concluding Exhortations 13Watche ye, stande fast in the fayth, quyte you lyke men, be strong.
14Let al your thinges be done with loue.
15I beseche you brethren (ye knowe the house of Stephanas, that it is ye first fruites of Achaia, and that they haue appoynted them selues to minister vnto the saintes)
16That ye be obedient euen vnto suche, and to all that helpe with vs, & labour.
17I am glad of the commyng of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, & Achaicus: for that whiche was lackyng Signature and Final Greetings 19The Churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you muche in the Lord, and so doth the Churche that is in their house.
20All the brethren greete you: Greete ye one another with an holy kysse.
