1 Now about the collection for the saints, you are to do as I directed the churches of Galatia:
1 CUANTO á la colecta para los santos, haced vosotros también de la manera que ordené en las iglesias de Galacia.
1 Now concerning the collection for the saints: as I commanded the assemblies of Galatia, you do likewise.
2 On the first day of every week, each of you should set aside a portion of his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will be needed.
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.
2 On the first day of every week, let each one of you save as he may prosper, that no collections are made when I come.
3 Then, on my arrival, I will send letters with those you recommend to carry your gift to Jerusalem.
3 Y cuando habré llegado, los que aprobareis por cartas, á éstos enviaré que lleven vuestro beneficio á Jerusalem.
3 When I arrive, I will send whoever you approve with letters to carry your gracious gift to Jerusalem.
4 And if it is advisable for me to go also, they can travel with me.
4 Y si fuere digno el negocio de que yo también vaya, irán conmigo.
4 If it is appropriate for me to go also, they will go with me.
5 After I go through Macedonia, however, I will come to you; for I will be going through Macedonia.
5 Y á vosotros iré, cuando hubiere pasado por Macedonia, porque por Macedonia tengo de pasar:
5 I will come to you when I have passed through Macedonia, for I am passing through Macedonia.
6 Perhaps I will stay with you awhile, or even spend the winter, so that you can help me on my journey, 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.
6 But with you it may be that I will stay with you, or even winter with you, that you may send me on my journey wherever I go.
7 For I do not want to see you now only in passing; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.
7 Porque no os quiero ahora ver de paso; porque espero estar con vosotros algún tiempo, si el Señor lo permitiere.
7 For I do not wish to see you now in passing, but I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits.
8 But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost,
8 Empero estaré en Efeso hasta Pentecostés;
8 But I will stay at Ephesus until Pentecost,
9 because a great door for effective work has opened to me, even though many oppose me.
9 Porque se me ha abierto puerta grande y eficaz, y muchos son los adversarios.
9 for a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
10 If Timothy comes, see to it that he has nothing to fear while he is with you, for he is doing the work of 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.
10 Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear, for he does the work of the Lord, as I also do.
11 No one, then, should treat him with contempt. Send him on his way in peace so that he can return to me, for I am expecting him along 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.
11 Therefore let no one despise him. But set him forward on his journey in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brothers.
12 Now about our brother Apollos: I strongly urged him to go to you with the brothers. He was not at all inclined to go now, but he will go when he has the opportunity.
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.
12 Now concerning Apollos the brother, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers, but it was not at all his desire to come now; but he will come when he has an opportunity.
13 Be on the alert. Stand firm in the faith. Be men of courage. Be strong.
13 Velad, estad firmes en la fe; portaos varonilmente, y esforzaos.
13 Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!
14 Do everything in love.
14 Todas vuestras cosas sean hechas con caridad.
14 Let all that you do be done in love.
15 You know that Stephanas and his household were the first converts in Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints. Now I urge you, brothers,
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,)
15 Now I beg you, brothers—you know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have set themselves to serve the saints—
16 to submit to such as these, and to every fellow worker and laborer.
16 Que vosotros os sujetéis á los tales, y á todos los que ayudan y trabajan.
16 that you also be in subjection to such, and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.
17 I am glad that Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus have arrived, because they have supplied what was lacking from you.
17 Huélgome de la venida de Estéfanas y de Fortunato y de Achâico: porque éstos suplieron lo que á vosotros faltaba.
17 I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for that which was lacking on your part, they supplied.
18 For they refreshed my spirit and yours as well. Show your appreciation, therefore, to such men.
18 Porque recrearon mi espíritu y el vuestro: reconoced pues á los tales.
18 For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge those who are like that.
19 The churches in the province of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Priscilla greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at 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.
19 The assemblies of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you warmly in the Lord, together with the assembly that is in their house.
20 All the brothers here send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
20 Os saludan todos los hermanos. Saludaos los unos á los otros con ósculo santo.
20 All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
21 This greeting is in my own hand—Paul.
21 La salutación de mí, Pablo, de mi mano.
21 This greeting is by me, Paul, with my own hand.
22 If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be under a curse. Come, O Lord!
22 El que no amare al Señor Jesucristo, sea anatema. Maranatha.
22 If any man doesn’t love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be cursed. Come, Lord!
23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
23 La gracia del Señor Jesucristo sea con vosotros.
23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
24 My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.

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.
