The Collection for the Saints
1 #
Rom 15.25,26. Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. 2Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come. 3And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem. 4And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.
Plans for Travel

Acts 19.21. Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedo´nia: for I do pass through Macedo´nia. 6And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go. 7For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit. 8#Acts 19.8-10.#Lev 23.15-21; Deut 16.9-11. But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost. 9For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.

1 Cor 4.17. Now if Timothy come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he worketh the work of the Lord, 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 Apol´los, 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 time.
Final Greetings
13Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. 14Let all your things be done with charity.

1 Cor 1.16. I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Steph´anas, that it is the firstfruits of Achai´a, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,) 16that ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboreth. 17I am glad of the coming of Steph´anas and Fortuna´tus and Acha´icus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied. 18For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.

Acts 18.2. The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house. 20All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with a holy kiss.
21The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand. 22If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anath´ema, Maranath´a. 23The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. 24My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

The Offering for Fellow-believers
1 #
Rom 15.25–26
Now, concerning what you wrote about the money to be raised to help God's people in Judea. You must do what I told the churches in Galatia to do. 2Every Sunday each of you must put aside some money, in proportion to what you have earned, and save it up, so that there will be no need to collect money when I come. 3After I come, I shall give letters of introduction to those you have approved, and send them to take your gift to Jerusalem. 4If it seems worthwhile for me to go, then they can go along with me.
Paul's Plans

Acts 19.21
I shall come to you after I have gone through Macedonia — for I have to go through Macedonia. 6I shall probably spend some time with you, perhaps the whole winter, and then you can help me to continue my journey, wherever it is I shall go next. 7I want to see you more than just briefly in passing; I hope to spend quite a long time with you, if the Lord allows.

Lev 23.15–21; Deut 16.9–11 #
Acts 19.8–10
I will stay here in Ephesus until the day of Pentecost. 9There is a real opportunity here for great and worthwhile work, even though there are many opponents.

1 Cor 4.17
If Timothy comes your way, be sure to make him feel welcome among you, because he is working for the Lord, just as I am. 11No one should look down on him, but you must help him to continue his trip in peace, so that he will come back to me; for I am expecting him back with the brothers and sisters.
12Now, about brother Apollos. I have often encouraged him to visit you with the other believers, but he is not completely convinced#16.12 he is not completely convinced; or it is not at all God's will. that he should go at this time. When he gets the chance, however, he will go.
Final Words
13Be alert, stand firm in the faith, be brave, be strong. 14Do all your work in love.

1 Cor 1.16
You know about Stephanas and his family; they are the first Christian converts in Achaia and have given themselves to the service of God's people. I beg you, my brothers and sisters, 16to follow the leadership of such people as these, and of anyone else who works and serves with them.
17I am happy about the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus; they have made up for your absence 18and have cheered me up, just as they cheered you up. Such men as these deserve notice.

Acts 18.2
The churches in the province of Asia send you their greetings; Aquila and Priscilla and the church that meets in their house send warm Christian greetings. 20All the believers here send greetings.
Greet one another with a holy kiss.
21With my own hand I write this: Greetings from Paul.
22Whoever does not love the Lord — a curse on him!
Marana tha — Our Lord, come!
23The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
24My love be with you all in Christ Jesus.
