| 1 | Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. |
| 2 | Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come. |
| 3 | And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem. |
| 4 | And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me. |
| 5 | Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia. |
| 6 | And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go. |
| 7 | For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit. |
| 8 | But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost. |
| 9 | For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries. |
| 10 | Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do. |
| 11 | Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come unto me: for I look for him with the brethren. |
| 12 | As touching our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come unto you with the brethren: but his will was not at all to come at this time; but he will come when he shall have convenient time. |
| 13 | Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. |
| 14 | Let all your things be done with charity. |
| 15 | I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,) |
| 16 | That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth. |
| 17 | I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied. |
| 18 | For they have refreshed my spirit and your's: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such. |
| 19 | The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house. |
| 20 | All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss. |
| 21 | The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand. |
| 22 | If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha. |
| 23 | The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. |
| 24 | My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen. |
| The first epistle to the Corinthians was written from Philippi by Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, and Timotheus. |
