Seeker Overlay ON

* Now , concerning the collection , which is for the saints ; as I ordered the congregations of Galatia , so also so you . * On the first say of the week , let each of you lay somewhat by itself , according as he may have prospered , putting it into the treasury ; that when I come , there may be then no collection . * And when I come , whomsoever you shall approve by letters , them I will send to carry your gift to Jerusalem . * Or , if it be proper that even I should go , they shall go with me . * Now , I will come to you , when I have passed through Macedonia , (for I do pass through Macedonia ;) * and , perhaps , I shall abide , and even winter with you , that you may send me forward , whithersoever I may go . * For I will not now see you in passing ; but I hope to remain with you sometime , if the Lord permit . * However , I shall remain at Ephesus till Pentecost . * For a great and effectual door is opened to me , yet there are many opposers . * Now , if Timothy be come , take care that he be among you without fear ; for he works , even as I do , the work of the Lord . * Wherefore , let no one despise him ; but send him forward in peace , that he may come to me ; for I expect him with the brethren . * And with relation to our brother Apollos , I entreated him much to go to you with the brethren ; but his inclination was not at all to go now , but he will go when he shall find a convenient season . * Watch ; stand fast in the faith ; acquit yourselves like men ; be strong . * Let all things be done with love . * You know the family of Stephanus , that it is the first fruit of Achaia , and that they have devoted themselves to the ministry of the saints . * I entreat you , therefore , brethren , that you submit yourselves to such , and to every joint worker and laborer . * I am glad of the coming of Stephanus , and Fortunatus , and Achaicus ; for they have supplied your deficiency , * and have refreshed my spirit and yours ; wherefore , acknowledge such persons . * The congregations of Asia salute you . Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord , with the congregation which is in their house . * All the brethren salute you . Salute one another with a holy kiss . * The salutation of Paul with my own hand . * If any one love not the Lord Jesus Christ , he shall be accursed when the Lord comes . * The favor of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you . * My love be with you all in Christ Jesus . Amen .
