1 Now concerning the collection for the believers, as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you are to do.

But of the gaderyngis of money that ben maad in to seyntis, as Y ordeynede in the chirchis of Galathie, so also do ye o dai of the wouke.

2 On the first day of the week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up as you are able. Do this so that there will be no collections when I come.

Ech of you kepe at hym silf, kepynge that that plesith to him, that whanne Y come, the gaderyngis ben not maad.

3 When I arrive, whomever you approve, I will send with letters to deliver your offering to Jerusalem.

6 Perhaps I may stay with you or even spend the winter, so that you may help me on my journey, wherever I go.

But perauenture Y schal dwelle at you, or also dwelle the wynter, that and ye lede me whidir euere Y schal go.

7 For I do not wish to see you now for only a passing visit. For I am looking forward to spending more time with you, if the Lord permits.

And Y wole not now se you in my passyng, for Y hope to dwelle with you awhile, if the Lord schal suffre.

10 Now when Timothy comes, see that he is with you unafraid, for he is doing the work of the Lord, as I am doing.

And if Thimothe come, se ye that he be with out drede with you, for he worcheth the werk of the Lord, as Y.

11 Let no one despise him. Help him on his way in peace, so that he may come to me. For I am expecting him to come along with the brothers.

Therfor no man dispise hym; but lede ye hym forth in pees, that he come to me; for Y abide hym with britheren.

12 Now concerning our brother Apollos, I strongly encouraged him to visit you with the brothers. But it was not at all his will that he come now. However, he will come when the time is right.

13 Be watchful, stand fast in the faith, act like men, be strong.

15 You know the household of Stephanas, that they were the first converts in Achaia, and that they have set themselves to the service of the believers. Now I urge you, brothers,

17 I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus. They have made up for your absence.

For Y haue ioie in the presence of Stephan, and of Fortunate, and Acaici;

18 For they have refreshed my spirit and yours. So then, recognize people like this.

20 All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
