16:1 Aid for God’s people
16 Now concerning the fund-raising for the believers:[ref] You all must do the same as what I got the assemblies in Galatia to do. 2 Every Sunday, each one of you should put something aside from whatever you’ve earnt, so that when I come we won’t need any collections then. 3 Then, when I arrive, I’ll write letters to send with those you recommend to take to Yerushalem (Jerusalem) with your gift, 4 but if it’s appropriate for me to go as well, then they can travel with me.
5 After I’ve been to Makedonia I’ll come there. Yes, I’m going through Makedonia,[ref] 6 but perhaps I’ll spend some time with you—maybe even the whole winter. That way, you all could help me on my way wherever I decide to go next, 7 because I don’t want to see you all now just in passing, but I’d like to stay with you all for a some time if the master permits.
8 But I’ll stay here at Efesos until the Pentecost celebrations[ref] 9 because a wide door has opened for me to be effective here, even though many are opposing me.
10 Now if Timotheos[ref] arrives, make sure that he has nothing for him to be afraid of there, because he’s doing Yahweh’s work just like me. 11 So don’t let anyone despise him, but help him on his way in peace, so that he can come to me because I’m expecting him along with the brothers.
12 And then concerning the brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to go to you with the brothers. He didn’t want to go at the present time, but he’ll go when he has another opportunity.
13 Stay alert and stay grounded in the faith. Be strong and courageous. 14 Everything you do, do in love.
15 Now brothers and sisters, you all know that Stefanas’ family[ref] were the first ones in Akaia to believe, and since then they’ve devoted themselves to serving the believers, so I urge you all 16 to submit yourselves to people like them, in fact to everyone who works and cooperates.
17 I’m pleased that Stefanas, Fortunatos, and Akaikos came because they’ve given what you all couldn’t, 18 because they refreshed my spirit and yours also, so you should show appreciation to such people.
19 The assemblies in the province of Asia Minor send their greetings.[ref] 20 All the brothers and sisters here send their greetings.
Greet each other with an innocent kiss.
21 I, Paulos, am sending this greeting in my own handwriting.
22 If there’s anyone there who doesn’t love the master, let him be cursed.
Come, master!
23 May the grace from our master Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) be with all of you.
