Now, concerning the collection, which is for the saints; as I ordered the congregations of Galatia, so also so you.

2 Nangmih pakhat rhip te yalh khat dongah a hoeikhang atah pakhat khaw amah loh khueh saeh lamtah tung saeh. Te daengah ni ka pawk vaengah congcoi a om pawt eh.

On the first say of the week, let each of you lay somewhat by itself, according as he may have prospered, putting it into the treasury; that when I come, there may be then no collection.

3 Ka pawk vaengah hlang na hmoel uh mako. Te rhoek te nangmih kah lungvatnah aka phuei ham capat neh Jerusalem la ka tueih eh.

And when I come, whomsoever you shall approve by letters, them I will send to carry your gift to Jerusalem.

Or, if it be proper that even I should go, they shall go with me.

Now, I will come to you, when I have passed through Macedonia, (for I do pass through Macedonia; )

and, perhaps, I shall abide, and even winter with you, that you may send me forward, whithersoever I may go.

7 Tahae kah caehlam ah nangmih hmuh ham ka ngaih moenih. Boeipa loh m'paek atah nangmih te a tue kolkalh khaw oei ham ka ngaiuep.

For I will not now see you in passing; but I hope to remain with you sometime, if the Lord permit.

Now, if Timothy be come, take care that he be among you without fear; for he works, even as I do, the work of the Lord.

Wherefore, let no one despise him; but send him forward in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren.

And with relation to our brother Apollos, I entreated him much to go to you with the brethren; but his inclination was not at all to go now, but he will go when he shall find a convenient season.
