1. Now in regard to the collection for the holy ones, you also should do as I ordered the churches of Galatia.
|
1. Now G1161 concerning G4012 the G3588 collection G3048 for G1519 the G3588 saints G40 , as G5618 I have given order G1299 to the G3588 churches G1577 of Galatia G1053 , even G2532 so G3779 do G4160 ye G5210 .
|
|
2. On the first day of the week each of you should set aside and save whatever one can afford, so that collections will not be going on when I come.
|
2. Upon the first G2596 G3391 day of the week G4521 let every one G1538 of you G5216 lay G5087 by G3844 him G1438 in store G2343 , as G3748 G302 God hath prospered G2137 him, that G2443 there be G1096 no G3361 gatherings G3048 when G3752 I come G2064 .
|
|
3. And when I arrive, I shall send those whom you have approved with letters of recommendation to take your gracious gift to Jerusalem.
|
3. And G1161 when G3752 I come G3854 , whomsoever G3739 G1437 ye shall approve G1381 by G1223 your letters G1992 , them G5128 will I send G3992 to bring G667 your G5216 liberality G5485 unto G1519 Jerusalem G2419 .
|
|
4. If it seems fitting that I should go also, they will go with me.
|
4. And G1161 if G1437 it be G5600 meet G514 that I go also G2504 G4198 , they shall go G4198 with G4862 me G1698 .
|
|
5. I shall come to you after I pass through Macedonia (for I am going to pass through Macedonia),
|
5. Now G1161 I will come G2064 unto G4314 you G5209 , when G3752 I shall pass through G1330 Macedonia G3109 : for G1063 I do pass through G1330 Macedonia G3109 .
|
|
6. and perhaps I shall stay or even spend the winter with you, so that you may send me on my way wherever I may go.
|
6. And G1161 it may be G5177 that I will abide G3887 , yea G2228 , and G2532 winter G3914 with G4314 you G5209 , that G2443 ye G5210 may bring me on my journey G4311 G3165 whithersoever G3757 G1437 I go G4198 .
|
|
7. For I do not wish to see you now just in passing, but I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.
|
7. For G1063 I will G2309 not G3756 see G1492 you G5209 now G737 by the way G1722 G3938 ; but G1161 I trust G1679 to tarry G1961 a while G5100 G5550 with G4314 you G5209 , if G1437 the G3588 Lord G2962 permit G2010 .
|
|
8. I shall stay in Ephesus until Pentecost,
|
8. But G1161 I will tarry G1961 at G1722 Ephesus G2181 until G2193 Pentecost G4005 .
|
|
9. because a door has opened for me wide and productive for work, but there are many opponents.
|
9. For G1063 a great G3173 door G2374 and G2532 effectual G1756 is opened G455 unto me G3427 , and G2532 there are many G4183 adversaries G480 .
|
|
10. If Timothy comes, see that he is without fear in your company, for he is doing the work of the Lord just as I am.
|
10. Now G1161 if G1437 Timothy G5095 come G2064 , see G991 that G2443 he may be G1096 with G4314 you G5209 without fear G870 : for G1063 he worketh G2038 the G3588 work G2041 of the Lord G2962 , as G5613 I G1473 also G2532 do.
|
|
11. Therefore no one should disdain him. Rather, send him on his way in peace that he may come to me, for I am expecting him with the brothers.
|
11. Let no G3361 man G5100 therefore G3767 despise G1848 him G846 : but G1161 conduct him forth G4311 G846 in G1722 peace G1515 , that G2443 he may come G2064 unto G4314 me G3165 : for G1063 I look for G1551 him G846 with G3326 the G3588 brethren G80 .
|
|
12. Now in regard to our brother Apollos, I urged him strongly to go to you with the brothers, but it was not at all his will that he go now. He will go when he has an opportunity.
|
12. G1161 As touching G4012 our brother G80 Apollos G625 , I greatly G4183 desired G3870 him G846 to G2443 come G2064 unto G4314 you G5209 with G3326 the G3588 brethren G80 : but G2532 his will G2307 was G2258 not at all G3843 G3756 to G2443 come G2064 at this time G3568 ; but G1161 he will come G2064 when G3752 he shall have convenient time G2119 .
