16Verse 1But of the gatherings [or of the collects]of money that be made into (the) saints (or Regarding the collection of money that be made for the saints or God’s people), as I have ordained in the churches of Galatia, so also do yeVerse 2one day of the week (or the first day of the week). Each of you keep, [or lay up], at himself, keeping that that pleaseth to him(self), (so) that when I come, the gatherings be not made.Verse 3And when I shall be present, which men ye (ap)prove, I shall send them by epistles to bear your grace into Jerusalem. (And then when I shall be there, whichever men ye shall approve, I shall send them with letters to take your gift to Jerusalem.)Verse 4That if it be worthy that also I go, they shall go with me. (And if it be worthwhile that I also go, they shall go with me.)Verse 5But I shall come to you, when I shall pass by Macedonia; for why I shall pass by Macedonia. (But I shall come to you, when I shall pass through Macedonia; for I shall go through Macedonia.)Verse 6But peradventure I shall dwell at you (or But perhaps I shall remain with you), or also dwell the winter (there), (so) that ye (can) lead me whither ever I shall go.Verse 7And I will not now see you in my passing (through), [or Soothly I will not now see you in (or while) passing (through)], for I hope to dwell with you a while, if the Lord shall suffer, (or for I hope to remain with you for a while, if the Lord will allow it).Verse 8But I shall dwell at Ephesus, unto Whitsuntide.Verse 9For a great door and an open [or (an) evident](one) is opened to me (or For a great door is opened to me for effective work), and (there be) many adversaries.Verse 10And if Timothy come, see ye that he be without dread with you (or see that he be without anything to fear from you), for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I (do).Verse 11Therefore no man despise him; but lead him forth in peace, (so) that he come to me; for I abide him with (the) brethren (or for I wait for him with the brothers).Verse 12But, brethren, I make known to you of Apollos, that I prayed (or beseeched) him much, that he should come to you, with (some) brethren. But it was not his will to come now (or But it was not his desire to come now); but he shall come, when he shall have leisure [or when it shall be able to him].Verse 13Walk ye, and stand ye in the faith; do ye manly, and be ye comforted in the Lord, (or be brave, and be strong in the Lord),Verse 14and be all your things done in charity. (and let everything ye do be done in love, or with love.)Verse 15And, brethren, I beseech you, ye know the house(hold) of Stephanas, and of Fortunatus, and Achaicus, for they be the first fruits of Achaia, and into (the) ministry of (the) saints they have ordained themselves (or and they have committed themselves unto the service of God’s people);Verse 16that also ye be subjects to such, and to each working together and travailing.Verse 17For I have joy in the presence of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for they [full-]filled that thing that failed to you (or for they did fully what you were unable to do, because of your absence);Verse 18for they have refreshed both my spirit and yours. Therefore know ye them, that be such manner men(or And so know and respect those who be such kind of men).Verse 19All the churches of Asia greet you well (or All the Asian churches send you hearty greetings). Aquila and Priscilla, with their home-church, greet you much in the Lord, at the which also I am harboured.Verse 20All (the) brethren greet you well. Greet ye well together in holy kiss. (All the brothers send you hearty greetings. Give hearty greetings to one another with a holy kiss.)Verse 21My greeting by Paul’s hand.Verse 22If any man loveth not our Lord Jesus Christ, be he cursed, Maranatha, that is, in the coming of the Lord, or in the day of doom. (If anyone loveth not our Lord Jesus Christ, let him be cursed on the Day of Judgement.)Verse 23The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.Verse 24My charity be with you all in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen. (My love be with you all in the Messiah Jesus our Lord. Amen.)
