1Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia [land of the Galli, Gauls, A Celt], even so do you^2f. 2Upon the first [day] of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as [God-The Father] has prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come. 3And when I come, whomsoever you^2f shall approve by [your] letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]. 4And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.

5Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia [extended land]: for I do pass through Macedonia [extended land]. 6And it may be that I will abide, yes, and winter with you, that you^2f may bring me on my journey to wherever I go. 7For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to wait a while with you, if the Lord - Kurios permit. 8But I will wait at Ephesus [permitted] until Pentecost. 9For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and [there are] many adversaries.

10Now if Timothy [honoring God] come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he works the work of the Lord - Kurios, as I also [do]. 11Let 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.

12As touching [our] brother Apollos [given by Apollo (etymology uncertain)], 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 (fit; appropriate; proper (one’s own; peculiar; particular)) time.

13Watch you^2f, stand fast in the faith, keep on you like men (behave/act as a man should), be strong. 14Let all your things be done with charity.

15 I beseech (to call upon; appeal; beg) you, brethren, (you^2f know the house of Stephanas [crowned], that it is the firstfruits of Achaia [trouble], and [that] they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,) 16 That you^2f submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helps with [us], and labours. 17 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas [crowned] and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied. 18For they have refreshed my Spirit [Ruach] and yours: therefore acknowledge you^2f them that are such.

19The churches of Asia [orient] salute you. Aquila [an eagle] and Priscilla [ancient] salute you much in the Lord - Kurios, with the church that is in their house. 20All the brethren greet you. Greet you^2f one another with an holy kiss.

21The Greeting of [me] Sha’ul [desired] with my own hand. 22If any man love not the Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah], let him be a thing set up or laid by in order to be kept Maranatha [our Lord - Kurios comes]. 23The grace of our Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] [be] with you. 24My love [be] with you all in Moshiach [Messiah] Yeshua [God is Salvation]. Amen. [[[The first [Epistle (important or formal letter)] to the Corinthians [satiated] was written from Philippi [lover of horses] by Stephanas [crowned] and Fortunatus and Achaicus and Timothy [honoring God].]]]
