PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 وَأَمَّا مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلْجَمْعِ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ، فَكَمَا أَوْصَيْتُ كَنَائِسَ غَلَاطِيَّةَ هَكَذَا ٱفْعَلُوا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا.
1 Now concerning the collection for the saints: as I commanded the assemblies of Galatia, you do likewise.
1 Περὶ δὲ τῆς λογίας τῆς εἰς τοὺς ἁγίους, ὥσπερ διέταξα ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις τῆς Γαλατίας οὕτω καὶ ὑμεῖς ποιήσατε.
2 فِي كُلِّ أَوَّلِ أُسْبُوعٍ، لِيَضَعْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ عِنْدَهُ خَازِنًا مَا تَيَسَّرَ، حَتَّى إِذَا جِئْتُ لَا يَكُونُ جَمْعٌ حِينَئِذٍ.
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.
2 κατὰ μίαν σαββάτων ἕκαστος ὑμῶν παρ᾽ ἑαυτῷ τιθέτω θησαυρίζων ὅ τι ἂν εὐοδῶται, ἵνα μὴ ὅταν ἔλθω τότε λογίαι γίνωνται.
3 وَمَتَى حَضَرْتُ، فَٱلَّذِينَ تَسْتَحْسِنُونَهُمْ أُرْسِلُهُمْ بِرَسَائِلَ لِيَحْمِلُوا إِحْسَانَكُمْ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ.
3 When I arrive, I will send whoever you approve with letters to carry your gracious gift to Jerusalem.
3 ὅταν δὲ παραγένωμαι, οὓς ἐὰν δοκιμάσητε, δι᾽ ἐπιστολῶν τούτους πέμψω ἀπενεγκεῖν τὴν χάριν ὑμῶν εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ·
4 وَإِنْ كَانَ يَسْتَحِقُّ أَنْ أَذْهَبَ أَنَا أَيْضًا، فَسَيَذْهَبُونَ مَعِي.
4 If it is appropriate for me to go also, they will go with me.
4 ἐὰν δὲ ᾖ ἄξιον τοῦ κἀμὲ πορεύεσθαι, σὺν ἐμοὶ πορεύσονται.
5 وَسَأَجِيءُ إِلَيْكُمْ مَتَى ٱجْتَزْتُ بِمَكِدُونِيَّةَ، لِأَنِّي أَجْتَازُ بِمَكِدُونِيَّةَ.
5 I will come to you when I have passed through Macedonia, for I am passing through Macedonia.
5 Ἐλεύσομαι δὲ πρὸς ὑμᾶς ὅταν Μακεδονίαν διέλθω· Μακεδονίαν γὰρ διέρχομαι·
6 وَرُبَّمَا أَمْكُثُ عِنْدَكُمْ أَوْ أُشَتِّي أَيْضًا لِكَيْ تُشَيِّعُونِي إِلَى حَيْثُمَا أَذْهَبُ.
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.
6 πρὸς ὑμᾶς δὲ τυχὸν παραμενῶ ἢ καὶ παραχειμάσω, ἵνα ὑμεῖς με προπέμψητε οὗ ἐὰν πορεύωμαι.
7 لِأَنِّي لَسْتُ أُرِيدُ ٱلْآنَ أَنْ أَرَاكُمْ فِي ٱلْعُبُورِ، لِأَنِّي أَرْجُو أَنْ أَمْكُثَ عِنْدَكُمْ زَمَانًا إِنْ أَذِنَ ٱلرَّبُّ.
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.
7 οὐ θέλω γὰρ ὑμᾶς ἄρτι ἐν παρόδῳ ἰδεῖν, ἐλπίζω δὲ χρόνον τινὰ ἐπιμεῖναι πρὸς ὑμᾶς, ἐὰν ὁ Κύριος ἐπιτρέπῃ.
8 وَلَكِنَّنِي أَمْكُثُ فِي أَفَسُسَ إِلَى يَوْمِ ٱلْخَمْسِينَ،
8 But I will stay at Ephesus until Pentecost,
8 ἐπιμενῶ δὲ ἐν Ἐφέσῳ ἕως τῆς πεντηκοστῆς·
9 لِأَنَّهُ قَدِ ٱنْفَتَحَ لِي بَابٌ عَظِيمٌ فَعَّالٌ، وَيُوجَدُ مُعَانِدُونَ كَثِيرُونَ.
9 for a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
9 θύρα γάρ μοι ἀνέῳγε μεγάλη καὶ ἐνεργής, καὶ ἀντικείμενοι πολλοί.
10 ثُمَّ إِنْ أَتَى تِيمُوثَاوُسُ، فَٱنْظُرُوا أَنْ يَكُونَ عِنْدَكُمْ بِلَا خَوْفٍ. لِأَنَّهُ يَعْمَلُ عَمَلَ ٱلرَّبِّ كَمَا أَنَا أَيْضًا.
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.
10 Ἐὰν δὲ ἔλθῃ Τιμόθεος, βλέπετε ἵνα ἀφόβως γένηται πρὸς ὑμᾶς· τὸ γὰρ ἔργον Κυρίου ἐργάζεται ὡς κἀγώ· μή τις οὖν αὐτὸν ἐξουθενήσῃ.
11 فَلَا يَحْتَقِرْهُ أَحَدٌ، بَلْ شَيِّعُوهُ بِسَلَامٍ لِيَأْتِيَ إِلَيَّ، لِأَنِّي أَنْتَظِرُهُ مَعَ ٱلْإِخْوَةِ.
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.
11 προπέμψατε δὲ αὐτὸν ἐν εἰρήνῃ ἵνα ἔλθῃ πρός με· ἐκδέχομαι γὰρ αὐτὸν μετὰ τῶν ἀδελφῶν.
12 وَأَمَّا مِنْ جِهَةِ أَبُلُّوسَ ٱلْأَخِ، فَطَلَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ كَثِيرًا أَنْ يَأْتِيَ إِلَيْكُمْ مَعَ ٱلْإِخْوَةِ، وَلَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ إِرَادَةٌ ٱلْبَتَّةَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ ٱلْآنَ. وَلَكِنَّهُ سَيَأْتِي مَتَى تَوَفَّقَ ٱلْوَقْتُ.
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.
12 Περὶ δὲ Ἀπολλὼ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ, πολλὰ παρεκάλεσα αὐτὸν ἵνα ἔλθῃ πρὸς ὑμᾶς μετὰ τῶν ἀδελφῶν· καὶ πάντως οὐκ ἦν θέλημα ἵνα νῦν ἔλθῃ, ἐλεύσεται δὲ ὅταν εὐκαιρήσῃ.
13 اِسْهَرُوا. ٱثْبُتُوا فِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ. كُونُوا رِجَالًا. تَقَوَّوْا.
13 Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!
13 Γρηγορεῖτε, στήκετε ἐν τῇ πίστει, ἀνδρίζεσθε, κραταιοῦσθε.
14 لِتَصِرْ كُلُّ أُمُورِكُمْ فِي مَحَبَّةٍ.
14 Let all that you do be done in love.
14 πάντα ὑμῶν ἐν ἀγάπῃ γινέσθω.
15 وَأَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ: أَنْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَ بَيْتَ ٱسْتِفَانَاسَ أَنَّهُمْ بَاكُورَةُ أَخَائِيَةَ، وَقَدْ رَتَّبُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ لِخِدْمَةِ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ،
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—
15 Παρακαλῶ δὲ ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί· οἴδατε τὴν οἰκίαν Στεφανᾶ, ὅτι ἐστὶν ἀπαρχὴ τῆς Ἀχαΐας καὶ εἰς διακονίαν τοῖς ἁγίοις ἔταξαν ἑαυτούς·
16 كَيْ تَخْضَعُوا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا لِمِثْلِ هَؤُلَاءِ، وَكُلِّ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ مَعَهُمْ وَيَتْعَبُ.
16 that you also be in subjection to such, and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.
16 ἵνα καὶ ὑμεῖς ὑποτάσσησθε τοῖς τοιούτοις καὶ παντὶ τῷ συνεργοῦντι καὶ κοπιῶντι.
17 ثُمَّ إِنِّي أَفْرَحُ بِمَجِيءِ ٱسْتِفَانَاسَ وَفُرْتُونَاتُوسَ وَأَخَائِيكُوسَ، لِأَنَّ نُقْصَانَكُمْ، هَؤُلَاءِ قَدْ جَبَرُوهُ،
17 I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for that which was lacking on your part, they supplied.
17 χαίρω δὲ ἐπὶ τῇ παρουσίᾳ Στεφανᾶ καὶ Φουρτουνάτου καὶ Ἀχαϊκοῦ, ὅτι τὸ ὑμῶν ὑστέρημα οὗτοι ἀνεπλήρωσαν·
18 إِذْ أَرَاحُوا رُوحِي وَرُوحَكُمْ. فَٱعْرِفُوا مِثْلَ هَؤُلَاءِ.
18 For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge those who are like that.
18 ἀνέπαυσαν γὰρ τὸ ἐμὸν πνεῦμα καὶ τὸ ὑμῶν. ἐπιγινώσκετε οὖν τοὺς τοιούτους.
19 تُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكُمْ كَنَائِسُ أَسِيَّا. يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي ٱلرَّبِّ كَثِيرًا أَكِيلَا وَبِرِيسْكِلَّا مَعَ ٱلْكَنِيسَةِ ٱلَّتِي فِي بَيْتِهِمَا.
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.
19 Ἀσπάζονται ὑμᾶς αἱ ἐκκλησίαι τῆς Ἀσίας. ἀσπάζονται ὑμᾶς ἐν Κυρίῳ πολλὰ Ἀκύλας καὶ Πρίσκιλλα σὺν τῇ κατ᾽ οἶκον αὐτῶν ἐκκλησίᾳ.
20 يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْإِخْوَةُ أَجْمَعُونَ. سَلِّمُوا بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ بِقُبْلَةٍ مُقَدَّسَةٍ.
20 All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
20 ἀσπάζονται ὑμᾶς οἱ ἀδελφοὶ πάντες. ἀσπάσασθε ἀλλήλους ἐν φιλήματι ἁγίῳ.
21 اَلسَّلَامُ بِيَدِي أَنَا بُولُسَ.
21 This greeting is by me, Paul, with my own hand.
21 Ὁ ἀσπασμὸς τῇ ἐμῇ χειρὶ Παύλου.
22 إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ فَلْيَكُنْ أَنَاثِيمَا! مَارَانْ أَثَا.
22 If any man doesn’t love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be cursed. Come, Lord!
22 εἴ τις οὐ φιλεῖ τὸν Κύριον Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν, ἤτω ἀνάθεμα. μαρὰν ἀθᾶ.
23 نِعْمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ مَعَكُمْ.
23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
23 Ἡ χάρις τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν.
24 مَحَبَّتِي مَعَ جَمِيعِكُمْ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ. آمِينَ.
24 My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
24 ἡ ἀγάπη μου μετὰ πάντων ὑμῶν ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ· ἀμήν.

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.
