1 Corinthians 16

[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16]

16:1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I commanded the assemblies of Galatia, you do likewise.

16:2 On the first day of the week, let each one of you save, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come.

16:3 When I arrive, I will send whoever you approve with letters to carry your gracious gift to Jerusalem.

16:4 If it is appropriate for me to go also, they will go with me.

16:5 But I will come to you when I have passed through Macedonia, for I am passing through Macedonia.

16:6 But with you it may be that I will stay, or even winter, that you may send me on my journey wherever I go.

16:7 For I do not wish to see you now in passing, but I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits.

16:8 But I will stay at Ephesus until Pentecost,

16:9 for a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

16:10 Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear, for he does the work of the Lord, as I also do.

16:11 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.

16:12 Now concerning Apollos, the brother, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers; and it was not at all his desire to come now; but he will come when he has an opportunity.

16:13 Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!

16:14 Let all that you do be done in love.

16:15 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 minister to the saints),

16:16 that you also be in subjection to such, and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.

16:17 I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for that which was lacking on your part, they supplied.

16:18 For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge those who are like that.

16:19 The assemblies of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you much in the Lord, together with the assembly that is in their house.

16:20 All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

16:21 This greeting is by me, Paul, with my own hand.

16:22 If any man doesn't love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed{Greek: anathema.}. Come, Lord!{Aramaic: Maranatha!}

16:23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

16:24 My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
