1 Now about the giving of money for the saints, as I gave orders to the churches of Galatia, so do you.
1 CUANTO á la colecta para los santos, haced vosotros también de la manera que ordené en las iglesias de Galacia.
2 On the first day of the week, let every one of you put by him in store, in measure as he has done well in business, so that it may not be necessary to get money together when I come.
2 Cada primer día de la semana cada uno de vosotros aparte en su casa, guardando lo que por la bondad de Dios pudiere; para que cuando yo llegare, no se hagan entonces colectas.
3 And when I come, I will send the men of your selection with letters to take the money you have got together to Jerusalem.
3 Y cuando habré llegado, los que aprobareis por cartas, á éstos enviaré que lleven vuestro beneficio á Jerusalem.
4 And if it is possible for me to go there, they will go with me.
4 Y si fuere digno el negocio de que yo también vaya, irán conmigo.
5 But I will come to you after I have gone through Macedonia, for that is my purpose;
5 Y á vosotros iré, cuando hubiere pasado por Macedonia, porque por Macedonia tengo de pasar:
6 But I may be with you for a time, or even for the winter, so that you may see me on my way, wherever I go.
6 Y podrá ser que me quede con vosotros, ó invernaré también, para que vosotros me llevéis á donde hubiere de ir.
7 For it is not my desire to see you now, on my way; because it is my hope to be with you for some time, if that is the Lord's pleasure.
7 Porque no os quiero ahora ver de paso; porque espero estar con vosotros algún tiempo, si el Señor lo permitiere.
8 But I will be at Ephesus till Pentecost;
8 Empero estaré en Efeso hasta Pentecostés;
9 For a great and important door there is open to me, and there are a number of people against me.
9 Porque se me ha abierto puerta grande y eficaz, y muchos son los adversarios.
10 Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear; because he is doing the Lord's work, even as I am:
10 Y si llegare Timoteo, mirad que esté con vosotros seguramente; porque la obra del Señor hace también como yo.
11 See then that he has the honour which is right. But send him on his way in peace, so that he may come to me: for I am looking for him with the brothers.
11 Por tanto, nadie le tenga en poco; antes, llevadlo en paz, para que venga á mí: porque lo espero con los hermanos.
12 But as for Apollos, the brother, I had a great desire for him to come to you with the brothers, but it was not his pleasure to come now; but he will come when he has a chance.
12 Acerca del hermano Apolos, mucho le he rogado que fuese á vosotros con los hermanos; mas en ninguna manera tuvo voluntad de ir por ahora; pero irá cuando tuviere oportunidad.
13 Be on the watch, unmoved in the faith, and be strong like men.
13 Velad, estad firmes en la fe; portaos varonilmente, y esforzaos.
14 Let all you do be done in love.
14 Todas vuestras cosas sean hechas con caridad.
15 Now I make my request to you, my brothers, for you have knowledge that the house of Stephanas is the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they have made themselves the servants of the saints,
15 Y os ruego, hermanos, (ya sabéis que la casa de Estéfanas es las primicias de Acaya, y que se han dedicado al ministerio de los santos,)
16 That you put yourselves under such, and under everyone who is helping the Lord's work.
16 Que vosotros os sujetéis á los tales, y á todos los que ayudan y trabajan.
17 And I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for they have done what was needed to make your work complete.
17 Huélgome de la venida de Estéfanas y de Fortunato y de Achâico: porque éstos suplieron lo que á vosotros faltaba.
18 For they gave comfort to my spirit and to yours: for which cause give respect to such people.
18 Porque recrearon mi espíritu y el vuestro: reconoced pues á los tales.
19 The churches of Asia send their love to you. So do Aquila and Prisca, with the church which is in their house.
19 Las iglesias de Asia os saludan. Os saludan mucho en el Señor Aquila y Priscila, con la iglesia que está en su casa.
20 All the brothers send their love to you. Give one another a holy kiss.
20 Os saludan todos los hermanos. Saludaos los unos á los otros con ósculo santo.
21 I, Paul, send you these words of love in my writing.
21 La salutación de mí, Pablo, de mi mano.
22 If any man has not love for the Lord, let him be cursed. Maran atha (our Lord comes).
22 El que no amare al Señor Jesucristo, sea anatema. Maranatha.
23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
23 La gracia del Señor Jesucristo sea con vosotros.
24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. So be it.
24 Mi amor en Cristo Jesús sea con todos vosotros. Amén. La primera á los Corintios fué enviada de Filipos con Estéfanas, y Fortunato, y Achâico, y Timoteo.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Having completed his discourse concerning doctrines, and being about to enter upon that which belongs rather to morals, he dismisses every thing else and proceeds to the chief of good things, discoursing about alms. Nor does he discuss morals in general, but when he hath treated of this matter alone, he leaves off.

Wherefore Paul also said, "Watch ye, stand fast in the faith." After this He points out the thing to be superfluous too, not hurtful only; in that, after the land hath been tilled, and there is no need of anything, then this enemy sows again; as the heretics also do, who for no other cause than vainglory inject their proper …

The kiss therefore is reconciliation, and for this reason holy: as the blessed Paul somewhere cried, saying, Greet ye one another with a holy kiss; and Peter, with a kiss of charity.
