Concluding topics

About a special collection

1 Περὶ δὲ τῆς λογίας* τῆς εἰς τοὺς ἁγίους, ὥσπερ διέταξα ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις τῆς Γαλατίας, οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς ποιήσατε. 2 Κατὰ μίαν σαββάτων,† ἕκαστος ὑμῶν παρ᾿ ἑαυτῷ τιθέτω, θησαυρίζων ὅ τι ἂν‡ εὐοδοῦται,§ ἵνα μὴ ὅταν ἔλθω τότε λογίαι* γίνωνται.† 3 Ὅταν δὲ παραγένωμαι, οὓς ἐὰν δοκιμάσητε δι᾿ ἐπιστολῶν, τούτους πέμψω ἀπενεγκεῖν τὴν χάριν ὑμῶν εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ.‡ 4 Ἐὰν δὲ ᾖ ἄξιον§ τοῦ κἀμὲ πορεύεσθαι, σὺν ἐμοὶ πορεύσονται.

Personal plans

5 Ἐλεύσομαι δὲ πρὸς ὑμᾶς ὅταν Μακεδονίαν* διέλθω (Μακεδονίαν γὰρ διέρχομαι). 6 Πρὸς ὑμᾶς δὲ τυχὸν παραμενῶ, ἢ καὶ παραχειμάσω, ἵνα ὑμεῖς με προπέμψητε,† οὗ ἐὰν πορεύωμαι.‡ 7 Οὐ θέλω γὰρ ὑμᾶς ἄρτι ἐν παρόδῳ ἰδεῖν, ἐλπίζω δὲ§ χρόνον τινὰ ἐπιμεῖναι πρὸς ὑμᾶς, ἐὰν ὁ Κύριος ἐπιτρέπῃ.* 8 Ἐπιμενῶ δὲ ἐν Ἐφέσῳ ἕως τῆς Πεντηκοστῆς, 9 θύρα γάρ μοι ἀνέῳγεν μεγάλη καὶ ἐνεργής, καὶ ἀντικείμενοι πολλοί.

This and that

10 Ἐὰν δὲ ἔλθῃ Τιμόθεος, βλέπετε ἵνα ἀφόβως γένηται πρὸς ὑμᾶς, τὸ γὰρ ἔργον Κυρίου ἐργάζεται ὡς καὶ ἐγώ.† 11 Μή τις οὖν αὐτὸν ἐξουθενήσῃ·‡ προπέμψατε δὲ αὐτὸν ἐν εἰρήνῃ, ἵνα ἔλθῃ πρός με· ἐκδέχομαι γὰρ αὐτὸν μετὰ τῶν ἀδελφῶν.

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 Γρηγορεῖτε, στήκετε ἐν τῇ πίστει, ἀνδρίζεσθε, κραταιοῦσθε. 14 Πάντα ὑμῶν ἐν ἀγάπῃ γινέσθω.

15 Παρακαλῶ δὲ ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί (οἴδατε τὴν οἰκίαν Στεφανᾶ, ὅτι ἐστὶν ἀπαρχὴ τῆς Ἀχαΐας, καὶ εἰς διακονίαν τοῖς ἁγίοις ἔταξαν ἑαυτούς), 16 ἵνα καὶ ὑμεῖς ὑποτάσσησθε τοῖς τοιούτοις,§ καὶ παντὶ τῷ συνεργοῦντι καὶ κοπιῶντι. 17 Χαίρω δὲ ἐπὶ τῇ παρουσίᾳ Στεφανᾶ καὶ Φουρτουνάτου* καὶ Ἀχαϊκοῦ, ὅτι τὸ ὑμῶν† ὑστέρημα οὗτοι ἀνεπλήρωσαν· 18 ἀνέπαυσαν γὰρ τὸ ἐμὸν πνεῦμα καὶ τὸ ὑμῶν· ἐπιγινώσκετε οὖν τοὺς τοιούτους.

Final greetings

19 Ἀσπάζονται ὑμᾶς αἱ ἐκκλησίαι τῆς Ἀσίας. Ἀσπάζονται‡ ὑμᾶς ἐν Κυρίῳ πολλὰ Ἀκύλας καὶ Πρίσκιλλα,§ σὺν τῇ κατ᾿ οἶκον αὐτῶν ἐκκλησίᾳ. 20 Ἀσπάζονται ὑμᾶς οἱ ἀδελφοὶ πάντες. Ἀσπάσασθε ἀλλήλους ἐν φιλήματι ἁγίῳ.

21 Ὁ ἀσπασμὸς τῇ ἐμῇ χειρί, Παύλου. 22 Εἴ τις οὐ φιλεῖ τὸν Κύριον ἡμῶν* Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν,† ἤτω ἀνάθεμα. Μαραναθά.

23 Ἡ χάρις τοῦ Κυρίου‡ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ§ μεθ᾿ ὑμῶν. 24 Ἡ ἀγάπη μου μετὰ πάντων ὑμῶν ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ.

Ἀμήν.*,†

For a book this size the uniformity is impressive. Since these MSS come from all over the Mediterranean world (Sinai, Jerusalem, Patmos, Aegean, Bucharest, Constantinople, Trikala, Meteora, Athens, Mt. Athos [eight different monasteries], Grottaferrata, Vatican, etc.) they are certainly representative of the family, giving us the precise family profile—it is reflected in the Text without exception. In the statements of evidence I have included the percentage of manuscript attestation for each variant within either ( ) or [ ]. I have used ( ) for the evidence taken from TuT, which I take to be reasonably precise. For the variant sets that are not covered there I used Reuben Swanson’s excellent collations (New Testament Greek Manuscripts: 1 Corinthians [Ed. Reuben Swanson, Carol Stream, IL: Tyndale House Publishers, 2005]). For 1 Corinthians Swanson collated 83 MSS, six being fragmentary (for any given variant set there will usually be at least 75 MSS listed), and I occasionally supplemented from Scrivener and von Soden—the percentages offered, I have used [ ] for these, are extrapolations based on a comparison of these sources. I venture to predict, if complete collations ever become available, that for any non-Byzantine variants listed with 5 to 1% support (in my apparatus) the margin of error should not exceed ±1%; for non-Byzantine variants listed with 10 to 6% support the margin of error should hardly exceed ±2%; where there is some division among the Byzantine witnesses the margin of error should rarely exceed ±10%—by comparing Swanson with TuT, I believe one can make a fairly accurate extrapolation. However, I guarantee the witness of Family 35. Please see the last footnote for Matthew for further information.
