2. Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God has prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.
3. And when I come, whomsoever you shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.
4. And if it be fitting that I go also, they shall go with me.
5. Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.
6. And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that you may bring me on my journey wherever I go.
7. For I will not see you now in passing; but I trust to tarry awhile with you, if the Lord permits.
8. But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
9. For a great and effective door is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.
10. Now if Timothy comes, see that he may be with you without fear: for he works the work of the Lord, as I also do.
11. Let no man therefore despise him: but send him forth in peace, that he may come unto me: for I look for him with the brethren.
