¶ The .xvi. Chapter.

OF the gadderynge for the sayncte / as I have ordeyned in the congregaciōs of Galacia / even so do ye. Vpon some [ A] sondaye let every one of you put a syde at ho∣me & laye vp what soever he thinketh mete / that ther be no gaderinges when I come. When I am come / who soever ye shall alowe by youre letters / them will I sende to bringe youre liberalite vnto Ierusalem. And yf it be mete y^t I goo / they shall go with me. I will come vnto you after I have gone over Mace¦donia. For I will goo thorowout Macedo∣nia. With you paravēture I wyll abyde a whyle: or els winter / that ye maye brynge me on my waye whyther soever I goo.

I will not se you now in my passage: but I [ B] trust to abyde a whyle with you / yf God shall suffreme. I willtary at Ephesus vntyllwhit sontyde. For a greate dore and a frutefull is opēned vnto me: & ther are many adversaries. If Timotheus come / se y^t he be with out fea∣re with you. For he worketh the worke of the Lorde as I doo. Let no man despyse him: but convaye him forthe in peace / y^t he maye come vnto me. For I loke for him with the brethrē.

To speake of brother Apollo: I greatly de∣syred him to come vnto you with y^e brethren / but his mynde was not at allto come at this

tyme. How be it he will come when he shall have conveniēt tyme. Watche ye / stonde fast in the fayth / auyte you lyke men / & be stronge. Let all youre busynes be done in love.

Brethren (ye knowe the housse of Stepha∣na / how y^t they are the fyrst frutes of Achaia / * 1.1 & that they have appoynted them selves to minister vnto the saynctes) I beseche you y^t ye be obedient vnto soche / and to all that hel∣pe and laboure. I am gladde of the cōmynge of Stephana / Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lackinge on youre parte / they have supplied. They have comforted my spre¦te and youres. Loke therfore that ye knowe them that are soche.

The congregacions of Asia salute you. [ D] Aquila and Priscilla salute you moche in the Lorde / and so doeth the congregaciō that is in their housse. All the brethren grete you. Gre∣te ye one another with an holy kysse. The sa∣lutacion of me Paul with myne awne hande. Yf eny man love not the Lorde Iesus Christ / * 1.2 the same be anathema maranatha. The gra¦ce of y^e Lorde Iesus Christ be with you all. My love be with you all in Christ Iesu. Amē
