Chapter summary

Paul begins by giving instructions regarding the collection for the saints, advising that each person set aside money on the first day of the week so that collections will not be needed upon his arrival. He outlines his future travel plans, stating that he will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost before passing through Macedonia to visit the Corinthians, with the possibility of spending the winter with them. He mentions that Timothy may visit them and asks that he be received without fear, while noting that Apollos will visit them later when he has an opportunity. Paul then expresses gladness over the arrival of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus, who refreshed his spirit, and he acknowledges the household of Stephanas as the first converts in Achaia. Finally, he shares greetings from the churches in Asia, Aquila and Prisca along with their house church, and the local brothers, before concluding the letter with personal greetings and a final blessing in his own hand.
