1 Now about “collecting money for fellow-believers.” I'm giving you the same instructions for you to follow as I did to the churches in Galatia.
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 everybody should set aside some money you've earned. I don't want there to be any collections to have to be made when I'm with you.
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 When I get there I will write recommendation letters for whoever you choose, and they will take your donation to Jerusalem.
3 Y cuando habré llegado, los que aprobareis por cartas, á éstos enviaré que lleven vuestro beneficio á Jerusalem.
4 If it works out for me to go too, they can come with me.
4 Y si fuere digno el negocio de que yo también vaya, irán conmigo.
5 After I've been to Macedonia, I plan to come and visit you. I pass that way through Macedonia
5 Y á vosotros iré, cuando hubiere pasado por Macedonia, porque por Macedonia tengo de pasar:
6 and I may stay with you for a while, perhaps spend the winter, and then you can send me on my way to wherever I'm headed.
6 Y podrá ser que me quede con vosotros, ó invernaré también, para que vosotros me llevéis á donde hubiere de ir.
7 This time I don't want to come and see you for just a short time. I hope I can stay for a while with you, if that's what the Lord permits.
7 Porque no os quiero ahora ver de paso; porque espero estar con vosotros algún tiempo, si el Señor lo permitiere.
8 However, I will stay on at Ephesus until Pentecost,
8 Empero estaré en Efeso hasta Pentecostés;
9 because a tremendous door of opportunity has opened up for me there, though there are plenty who oppose me.
9 Porque se me ha abierto puerta grande y eficaz, y muchos son los adversarios.
10 Now if Timothy arrives, make sure that he has nothing to fear by being with you, for he's working for the Lord just as I am.
10 Y si llegare Timoteo, mirad que esté con vosotros seguramente; porque la obra del Señor hace también como yo.
11 Don't let anyone look down on him. Cheerfully send him on his way so he can come and see me—the brothers and sisters and I are waiting for him.
11 Por tanto, nadie le tenga en poco; antes, llevadlo en paz, para que venga á mí: porque lo espero con los hermanos.
12 As for our brother Apollos: I urged him to go and see you together with the other believers, but he wasn't willing to go at the moment. He'll come and visit when he gets the 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 Stay alert. Stand firm in your trust in God. Take courage. Be strong.
13 Velad, estad firmes en la fe; portaos varonilmente, y esforzaos.
14 Whatever you do, do it in love.
14 Todas vuestras cosas sean hechas con caridad.
15 You know that Stephanas and his family were among the first converts in Achaia, and they dedicated themselves to helping God's people. I'm pleading with you, my brothers and sisters,
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 to respect their leadership, and everyone who helps the work with such dedication.
16 Que vosotros os sujetéis á los tales, y á todos los que ayudan y trabajan.
17 I'm delighted that Stephanas, Fortunatas, and Achaicus have arrived here, for they did what you weren't able to.
17 Huélgome de la venida de Estéfanas y de Fortunato y de Achâico: porque éstos suplieron lo que á vosotros faltaba.
18 They have been a great source of encouragement to me, and to you. People like that deserve your recognition.
18 Porque recrearon mi espíritu y el vuestro: reconoced pues á los tales.
19 The churches of Asia send their greetings. Aquila and Priscilla, along with the church that meets in their home, send their best wishes.
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 and sisters here send their greetings. Greet one another affectionately.
20 Os saludan todos los hermanos. Saludaos los unos á los otros con ósculo santo.
21 I Paul write this greeting with my own hand.
21 La salutación de mí, Pablo, de mi mano.
22 Anyone who doesn't love the Lord should be excluded from the church. Come Lord!
22 El que no amare al Señor Jesucristo, sea anatema. Maranatha.
23 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
23 La gracia del Señor Jesucristo sea con vosotros.
24 My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
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.
