1 CONCERNING NOW THE COLLECTION WHICH [IS] FOR THE SAINTS AS I HAVE DIRECTED THE CHURCHES <THE> OF GALATIA, SO ALSO YOU YOURSELVES DO PERFORM.
The Collection for the Saints
(2 Corinthians 9:1–15 )
1 Now about the collection for the saints, you are to do as I directed the churches of Galatia:
2 EVERY FIRST SABBATH EACH OF YOU ASIDE OF HIS OWN SHOULD PUT TREASURING UP WHICH ONE MAYBE HE SHALL BE SUCCESSFUL, SO THAT NOT WHEN I MAY COME THEN COLLECTIONS THERE MAY BE.
2 On the first day of every week, each of you should set aside a portion of his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will be needed.
3 WHEN THEN I MAY HAVE ARRIVED, WHOMEVER MAYBE YOU SHALL APPROVE, WITH LETTERS THESE I WILL SEND TO CARRY THE BOUNTY OF YOU TO JERUSALEM;
3 Then, on my arrival, I will send letters with those you recommend to carry your gift to Jerusalem.
4 IF THEN SUITABLE IT SHALL BE FOR ME ALSO TO GO, WITH ME MYSELF THEY WILL GO.
4 And if it is advisable for me to go also, they can travel with me.
5 I WILL COME HOWEVER TO YOU WHEN MACEDONIA I MAY HAVE GONE THROUGH; MACEDONIA FOR I AM GOING THROUGH,
Paul’s Travel Plans
(Romans 15:23–33 )
5 After I go through Macedonia, however, I will come to you; for I will be going through Macedonia.
6 WITH YOU THEN POSSIBLY I WILL CONTINUE OR EVEN I WILL WINTER, SO THAT YOU YOURSELVES ME MAY EQUIP WHEREVER IF I SHALL GO.
6 Perhaps I will stay with you awhile, or even spend the winter, so that you can help me on my journey, wherever I go.
7 NOT I WANT FOR YOU NOW IN PASSING TO SEE; I HOPE FOR A TIME CERTAIN TO REMAIN WITH YOU, IF THE LORD SHALL PERMIT.
7 For I do not want to see you now only in passing; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.
8 I WILL REMAIN HOWEVER IN EPHESUS UNTIL <THE> PENTECOST;
8 But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost,
9 A DOOR FOR TO ME HAS OPENED GREAT AND PRODUCTIVE AND ARE OPPOSING MANY.
9 because a great door for effective work has opened to me, even though many oppose me.
10 IF NOW MAY COME TIMOTHY, DO SEE THAT WITHOUT FEAR HE SHALL BE WITH YOU; THE FOR WORK OF [THE] LORD HE IS DOING AS ALSO I MYSELF.
Timothy and Apollos
(Philippians 2:19–30 )
10 If Timothy comes, see to it that he has nothing to fear while he is with you, for he is doing the work of the Lord, just as I am.
11 NOT ANYONE THEREFORE HIM MAY DESPISE; DO EQUIP HOWEVER HIM IN PEACE, SO THAT HE MAY COME TO ME; I AM EXPECTING FOR HIM WITH THE BROTHERS.
11 No one, then, should treat him with contempt Send him on his way in peace so that he can return to me, for I am expecting him along with the brothers.
12 CONCERNING NOW APOLLOS THE BROTHER, GREATLY I EXHORTED HIM THAT HE MAY GO TO YOU WITH THE BROTHERS; AND AT ALL NOT WAS [HIS] WILL THAT NOW HE MAY COME, HE WILL COME HOWEVER WHEN HE MAY HAVE OPPORTUNITY.
12 Now about our brother Apollos: I strongly urged him to go to you with the brothers. He was not at all inclined to go now, but he will go when he has the opportunity.
13 DO WATCH, DO STAND FIRM IN THE FAITH, DO ACT LIKE MEN, DO BE STRONG.
Concluding Exhortations
13 Be on the alert. Stand firm in the faith. Be men of courage. Be strong.
14 ALL THINGS OF YOU IN LOVE SHOULD BE DONE.
15 I EXHORT NOW YOU, BROTHERS; YOU KNOW THE HOUSE OF STEPHANAS THAT IT IS FIRSTFRUIT <THE> OF ACHAIA AND TO SERVICE TO THE SAINTS THEY HAVE DEVOTED THEMSELVES;
15 You know that Stephanas and his household were the first converts in Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints. Now I urge you, brothers,
16 THAT ALSO YOU YOURSELVES MAY BE SUBJECT <THE> TO SUCH AS THESE AND TO EVERYONE WHO IS JOINING IN THE WORK AND LABORING.
16 to submit to such as these, and to every fellow worker and laborer.
17 I REJOICE HOWEVER AT THE COMING OF STEPHANAS AND FORTUNATUS AND ACHAICUS, BECAUSE <THE> YOUR DEFICIENCY THESE FILLED UP;
