1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.
1 CUANTO á la colecta para los santos, haced vosotros también de la manera que ordené en las iglesias de Galacia.
2 Upon the first [day] of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as [God] hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings 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, whomsoever ye shall approve by [your] letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.
3 Y cuando habré llegado, los que aprobareis por cartas, á éstos enviaré que lleven vuestro beneficio á Jerusalem.
4 And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.
4 Y si fuere digno el negocio de que yo también vaya, irán conmigo.
5 Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.
5 Y á vosotros iré, cuando hubiere pasado por Macedonia, porque por Macedonia tengo de pasar:
6 And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever 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 I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.
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 tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
8 Empero estaré en Efeso hasta Pentecostés;
9 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and [there are] many adversaries.
9 Porque se me ha abierto puerta grande y eficaz, y muchos son los adversarios.
10 Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also [do].
10 Y si llegare Timoteo, mirad que esté con vosotros seguramente; porque la obra del Señor hace también como yo.
11 Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come unto me: for I look for him with the brethren.
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 touching [our] brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come unto you with the brethren: but his will was not at all to come at this time; but he will come when he shall have convenient time.
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 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
13 Velad, estad firmes en la fe; portaos varonilmente, y esforzaos.
14 Let all your things be done with charity.
14 Todas vuestras cosas sean hechas con caridad.
15 I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and [that] they have addicted themselves to the ministry 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 ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with [us], and laboureth.
16 Que vosotros os sujetéis á los tales, y á todos los que ayudan y trabajan.
17 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.
17 Huélgome de la venida de Estéfanas y de Fortunato y de Achâico: porque éstos suplieron lo que á vosotros faltaba.
18 For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.
18 Porque recrearon mi espíritu y el vuestro: reconoced pues á los tales.
19 The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that 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 brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.
20 Os saludan todos los hermanos. Saludaos los unos á los otros con ósculo santo.
21 The salutation of [me] Paul with mine own hand.
21 La salutación de mí, Pablo, de mi mano.
22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.
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. 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.
