¶ Now concerning¹ the collection for the saints², as I have given order to the churches³ of Galatia, even so do ye.

Upon the first⁴ day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God⁵ hath prospered him, that⁶ there be no gatherings when I come.

And when⁷ I come, whomsoever⁸ ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality⁹ unto Jerusalem.

¹⁰And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.

¶ Now I will come unto you, when¹¹ I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.

And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter¹² with you, that ye¹³ may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go.

For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if¹⁴ the Lord permit.

But I will tarry at¹⁵ Ephesus until Pentecost¹⁶.

For a great¹⁷ door¹⁸ and effectual is opened unto me, and there¹⁹ are many adversaries.

¶ Now if²⁰ Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without²¹ fear: for²² he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do.

Let no²³ man therefore despise him: but²⁴ conduct him forth in peace, that he may come unto me: for I look for him with the brethren.

As touching our²⁵ 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 when²⁶ he shall have convenient time.

¶ Watch²⁷ ye, stand²⁸ fast in the faith, quit²⁹ you like men, be³⁰ strong.

³¹Let all your things be done with charity.

I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of³² Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of³³ Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry³⁴ of the saints,)

That ye submit³⁵ yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with³⁶ us, and laboureth.

I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.

For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.

¶ The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.

¶ All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.

The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.

If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

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.]
