CHAP. XVI.

1 Hee exhorteth them to relieue the want of the brethren at Ierusalem. 10 Commendeth Timothy, 13 And after friendly admonitions, 16 Shutteth vp his Epistle with diuers salutations.

¹ Now concerning the collection for the Saints, as I haue giuen order to the Churches of Galatia, euen so doe ye.

² Upon the first day of the weeke, let euery one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.

³ And when I come, whomsoeuer you shall approue by your letters, them wil I send to bring your liberality vnto Ierusalem.³

⁴ And if it be meet that I goe also, they shall goe with me.

⁵ Now I wil come vnto you, when I shall passe through Macedonia: for I doe passe through Macedonia.

⁶ And it may bee that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that yee may bring me on my iourny, whithersoeuer I goe.

⁷ For I will not see you now by the way, but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.

⁸ But I will tarry at Ephesus vntill Pentecost.
