For Macedonia and Achaia are pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.

Now I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a servant of the church in Cenchrea,

Greet Herodion, my compatriot. Greet those in the household of Narcissus who are in the Lord.

I always thank my God for you because of the grace of God that was given to you in Christ Jesus.

so that you do not lack any spiritual gift as you wait for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

He will also strengthen you to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For members of Chloe’s household have made it clear to me, my brothers and sisters, that there are quarrels among you.

For I decided to be concerned about nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

So, brothers and sisters, I could not speak to you as spiritual people, but instead as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ.

for you are still influenced by the flesh. For since there is still jealousy and dissension among you, are you not influenced by the flesh and behaving like unregenerate people?

Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?

For I am not aware of anything against myself, but I am not acquitted because of this. The one who judges me is the Lord.

For when it is time to eat, everyone proceeds with his own supper. One is hungry and another becomes drunk.

And there are different results, but the same God who produces all of them in everyone.

But as a matter of fact, God has placed each of the members in the body just as he decided.

so that there may be no division in the body, but the members may have mutual concern for one another.

But if there is no interpreter, he should be silent in the church. Let him speak to himself and to God.
