¹Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I commanded the assemblies of Galatia, you do likewise.

¹A glede sklada za svete storitve tudi vi tako, kakor sem naredil za galacijske cerkve.

²On the first day of the week, let each one of you save, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come.

²Prvi dan po soboti naj vsak vas pri sebi deva na stran in spravlja po svojih dohodkih, da ne bode zbiranja šele takrat, kadar pridem.

³When I arrive, I will send whoever you approve with letters to carry your gracious gift to Jerusalem.

³Kadar pa pridem, pošljem z listi tiste, ki jih za dobre za to spoznate, da odneso vaš dar ljubezni v Jeruzalem;

⁴If it is appropriate for me to go also, they will go with me.

⁴ko bi pa vredno bilo, da tudi jaz grem, pojdejo z menoj.

⁵But I will come to you when I have passed through Macedonia, for I am passing through Macedonia.

⁵Pridem pa k vam, kadar prepotujem Macedonijo; pojdem namreč skozi Macedonijo;

⁶But with you it may be that I will stay, or even winter, that you may send me on my journey wherever I go.

⁶a pri vas se morebiti pomudim ali pa ostanem tudi čez zimo, da me vi spremite, kamor koli pojdem.

⁷For I do not wish to see you now in passing, but I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits.

⁷Kajti nočem vas le mimogrede videti, marveč upam, da ostanem nekoliko časa pri vas, če Gospod dovoli.

⁸But I will stay at Ephesus until Pentecost,

⁸Ostanem pa v Efezu do Binkošti.

⁹for a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

⁹Zakaj vrata so mi odprta velika in široka in nasprotnikov je mnogo.

¹⁰Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear, for he does the work of the Lord, as I also do.

¹⁰Ako pa pride Timotej, glejte, da bode brez strahu pri vas; kajti opravlja Gospodovo delo kakor i jaz:

¹¹Therefore let no one despise him. But set him forward on his journey in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brothers.

¹¹nihče naj ga torej ne zaničuje. A odpošljite ga v miru, da pride k meni, ker ga pričakujem z brati.

¹²Now concerning Apollos, the brother, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers; and it was not at all his desire to come now; but he will come when he has an opportunity.

¹²Kar se pa tiče Apola brata, dosti sem ga prosil, da bi šel k vam z brati; a nikakor ga ni bila volja iti sedaj, toda pride, kadar utegne.

¹³Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!

¹³Čujte, stojte v veri, moški se držite, trdni bodite!

¹⁴Let all that you do be done in love.

¹⁴Vse vaše naj se godi v ljubezni.

¹⁵Now I beg you, brothers (you know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have set themselves to serve the saints),

¹⁵Prosim pa vas, bratje: za Štefanov dom veste, da je prvina v Ahaji in da so se za službo svetim odločili;

¹⁶that you also be in subjection to such, and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.

¹⁶da bodite tudi vi podložni takim in vsakemu, ki pomaga v delu in se trudi.

¹⁷I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for that which was lacking on your part, they supplied.

¹⁷Veselim se pa prihoda Štefanovega in Fortunatovega in Ahaikovega, ker so mi nadomestili, kar sem na vas pogrešal;

¹⁸For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge those who are like that.

¹⁸zakaj poživili so mojega duha in vašega. Spoštujte torej take!

¹⁹The assemblies of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you much in the Lord, together with the assembly that is in their house.

¹⁹Pozdravljajo vas cerkve v Aziji. Pozdravljata vas v Gospodu mnogokrat Akvila in Priska s cerkvijo, ki se shaja v njunem domu.

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

²⁰Pozdravljajo vas bratje vsi. Pozdravite drug drugega v svetem poljubu!

²¹This greeting is by me, Paul, with my own hand.

²¹Pozdrav z mojo, Pavlovo, roko.

²²If any man doesn’t love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed Greek: anathema. . Come, Lord! Aramaic: Maranatha!

²²Če kdo ne ljubi Gospoda, proklet bodi! Maran atha [T. j. Gospod pride.].

²³The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

²³Milost Gospoda Jezusa z vami!Moja ljubezen z vami vsemi v Kristusu Jezusu! Amen.

²⁴My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.

²⁴Moja ljubezen z vami vsemi v Kristusu Jezusu! Amen.
