1 Corinthians 16
- 1Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, you should do the same.
- 2On the first day of the week, each of you should set something aside and save it, according to how God has prospered you, so that no collections need to be made when I come.
- 3And when I come, whoever you shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your gift to Jerusalem.
- 4And if it is fitting that I go also, they shall go with me.
- 5Now I will come to you, when I shall pass through Macedonia. For I do pass through Macedonia.
- 6And it may be that I will remain, yes, and winter with you, that you may bring me on my journey wherever I go.
- 7For I will not see you now by the way, but I trust to stay a while with you, if the Lord permit.
- 8But I will stay at Ephesus until Pentecost.
- 9For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many enemies.
- 10Now if Timothy come, see that he may be with you without fear. For he works the work of the Lord, as I also do.
- 11Let no man therefore despise him. But conduct him out in peace, that he may come to me. For I look for him with the brothers and sisters.
- 12Concerning our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers and sisters. He was not willing to come now, but he will come when he has an opportunity.
- 13Watch, stand fast in the faith, act like men, be strong.
- 14Let all your things be done with love.
- 15I urge you, brothers and sisters. You know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the ministry of the saints.
- 16That you submit yourselves to such, and to everyone who helps with us, and labors.
- 17I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus. For that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.
- 18For they have refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge you those who are such.
- 19The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.
- 20All the brothers and sisters greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
- 21I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand.
- 22If any man does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be cursed. Maranatha.
- 23The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
- 24My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
