STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 וְעַל־דְּבַר קִבּוּץ הַתְּרוּמוֹת לְעֶזְרַת הַקְּדוֹשִׁים כַּאֲשֶׁר תִּקַּנְתִּי לַקְּהִלּוֹת אֲשֶׁר בְּגָלַטְיָא כֵּן תַּעֲשֹוּ גַּם־אַתֶּם	1 Now concerning the collections which are made for the saints: just as I have arranged for the churches of Galatia, so should it also be done with you.
2 בְּכָל־אֶחָד בַּשַּׁבָּת יַנִּיחַ אֶצְלוֹ אִישׁ אִישׁ מִכֶּם וְיֶאֱצֹר אֶת־אֲשֶׁר עָלָה בְיָדוֹ לְמַעַן אֲשֶׁר בְּבֹאִי לֹא יִקָּבֵץ עוֹד	2 On the first day of the week, the Sabbath, let each one of you take from himself, setting aside what will be well-pleasing to him, so that when I arrive, the collections will not have to be made then.
3 וַאֲנִי בְּבֹאִי אֶת־אֲשֶׁר תִּמְצְאוּ נֶאֱמָנִים עִם־אִגְּרוֹת אֶשְׁלַח אֹתָם לְהָבִיא אֶת־נִדְבַתְכֶם לִירוּשָׁלָיִם	3 And when I am present, whomever you shall approve through letters, these I shall send to bear your gifts to Jerusalem.
4 וְאִם־שֹׁוֶה הַטֹּרַח שֶׁגַּם אָנֹכִי אֵלֵךְ שָׁמָּה אִתִּי יֵלֵכוּ	4 And if it is fitting for me to go too, they shall go with me.
5 וַאֲנִי אָבֹא אֲלֵיכֶם אַחֲרֵי עָבְרִי אֶת־מַקְדּוֹנְיָא כִּי אֶת־מַקְדּוֹנְיָא אֶעֱבֹרָה	5 Now I will visit you after I have passed through Macedonia. For I will pass through Macedonia.
6 וְאוּלַי אֵשֵׁב עִמָּכֶם יָמִים אֲחָדִים אוֹ כָּל־יְמֵי הַסְּתָו לְמַעַן תְּלַוֻּנִי אֶל־אֲשֶׁר אֵלֵךְ שָׁמָּה	6 And perhaps I will stay with you, and even spend the winter, so that you may lead me on my way, whenever I depart.
7 כִּי כָעֵת אֵין רְצוֹנִי לִרְאֹתְכֶם אַךְ־בְּעָבְרִי כִּי־אֲקַוֶּה לָׁשֶׁבֶת אֶצְלְכֶם זְמַן־מָה אִם־יִרְצֶה יְהוָֹה	7 For I am not willing to see you now only in passing, since I hope that I may remain with you for some length of time, if the Lord permits.
8 אֲבָל אֵשֵׁב בְּאֶפְסוֹס עַד־חַג הַשָּׁבוּעוֹת	8 But I must remain at Ephesus, even until Pentecost.
9 כִּי־נִפְתַּח לִי פֶּתַח גָּדוֹל וְרַב־פְּעָלִים וְרַבִּים הַמִּתְקוֹמְמִים	9 For a door, great and unavoidable, has opened to me, as well as many adversaries.
10 וְכִי יָבוֹא אֲלֵיכֶם טִימוֹתִיּוֹס רְאוּ־נָא שֶׁיִּהְיֶה עִמָּכֶם בְּלִי פָחַד כִּי־מְלֶאכֶת יְהוָֹה הוּא עֹשֶׂה כְּמוֹ גַם־אָנִי	10 Now if Timothy arrives, see to it that he may be among you without fear. For he is doing the work of the Lord, just as I also do.
11 עַל־כֵּן אִישׁ אַל־יִבֶז אֹתוֹ אַךְ שַׁלְּחֻהוּ בְשָׁלוֹם לְמַעַן יָבֹא אֵלָי כִּי אֲחַכֶּה־לּוֹ עִם־הָאַחִים	11 Therefore, let no one despise him. Instead, lead him on his way in peace, so that he may come to me. For I am awaiting him with the brothers.
12 וְאַפּוֹלוֹס הָאָח הִנֵּה הִפְצַרְתִּי־בוֹ לָבוֹא אֲלֵיכֶם עִם־הָאַחִים אַךְ לֹא־הָיָה בִרְצוֹנוֹ לָבוֹא עַתָּה אָמְנָם בּוֹא יָבוֹא בְּמָצְאוֹ עֵת נְכוֹנָה	12 But concerning our brother, Apollo, I am letting you know that I pleaded with him greatly to go to you with the brothers, and clearly it was not his will to go at this time. But he will arrive when there is a space of time for him.
13 שִׁקְדוּ וְעִמְדוּ בָאֱמוּנָה הִתְאשְׁשׁוּ וְהִתְחַזָּקוּ	13 Be vigilant. Stand with faith. Act manfully and be strengthened.
14 וְכָל־דִּבְרֵיכֶם יֵעָשֹוּ בְאַהֲבָה	14 Let all that is yours be immersed in charity.
15 וַאֲבַקְשָׁה מִכֶּם אַחַי הֲלֹא יְדַעְתֶּם אֶת־בֵּית אִסְטְפָנוֹס שֶׁהוּא רֵאשִׁית אֲכַיָּא וַיִּתְּנוּ אֶת־נַפְשָׁם לְשֵׁרוּת הַקְּדשִׁים	15 And I beg you, brothers: You know the house of Stephanus, and of Fortunatus, and of Achaicus, that they are the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they have dedicated themselves to the ministry of the saints.
16 לָכֵן הִכָּנְעוּ גַם־אַתֶּם מִפְּנֵי אֲנָשִׁים כָּאֵלֶּה וּמִפְּנֵי־כֹל אֲשֶׁר־יַעֲבֹד עִמָּהֶם וְיַעֲמֹל	16 So you should be subject also to persons such as this, as well as to all who are cooperating and working with them.
17 וְהִנְנִי שָׂמֵחַ בְּבִיאַת אִסְטְפָנוֹס וּפָרְטוּנָטוֹס וַאֲכַיְקוֹס כִּי הֵמָּה מִלְּאוּ אֶת־אֲשֶׁר חָסַרְתִּי אֶתְכֶם	17 Now I rejoice in the presence of Stephanus and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because what was lacking in you, they have supplied.
18 וַיָּנִיחוּ אֶת־רוּחִי וְאֶת־רוּחֲכֶם עַל־כֵּן הוֹקִירוּ אֲנָשִׁים כָּאֵלֶּה	18 For they have refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore, recognize persons such as this.
19 הַקְּהִלּוֹת אֲשֶׁר בְּאַסְיָא שֹׁאֲלוֹת לִשְׁלוֹמְכֶם עֲקִילַס וּפְרִיסְקִילָה וְגַם־הַקְּהִלָּה אֲשֶׁר בְּבֵיתָם מַרְבִּים לִשְׁאֹל לִשְׁלוֹמְכֶם בַּאֲדֹנֵינוּ	19 The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you greatly in the Lord, with the church of their household, where I also am a guest.
20 הָאַחִים כֻּלָּם שֹׁאֲלִים לִשְׁלוֹמְכֶם שַׁאֲלוּ לְשָׁלוֹם אִישׁ אֶת־רֵעֵהוּ בַּנְּשִׁיקָה הַקְּדוֹשָׁה	20 All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
21 שְׁאֵלַת שְׁלוֹמְכֶם בְּיָדִי אָנִי פוֹלוֹס	21 This is a greeting from my own hand, Paul.
22 מִי שֶׁלֹּא יֶאֱהַב אֶת־הָאָדוֹן יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ יָחֳרָם מָרַן אֲתָא	22 If anyone does not love our Lord Jesus Christ, let him be anathema! Maran Atha.
23 חֶסֶד יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ אֲדֹנֵינוּ יְהִי עִמָּכֶם	23 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
24 וְאַהֲבָתִי אֶת־כֻּלְּכֶם בַּמָּשִׁיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ אָמֵן	24 My charity is with all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
