1 Corinthians Chapter 16
1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have directed⁺ the assemblies⁺ of Galatia, so also you should do.
2 Every⁺ first of the week~, let everyone of you put⁺ aside in store~, as God has prospered, so that there need be no collections⁺ when I come.
3 When I come, whomever you approve by your letters, I will send to take⁺ your liberal gifts to Jerusalem.
4 If it is fitting⁺ that I go also, then they shall go with me.
5 Now I will come to you when I pass through Macedonia, for I do pass through Macedonia.
6 It may be that I will stay⁺ and winter with you so that you may then take⁺ me on my journey wherever I go.
7 For I will not see you now, on the way, but I trust to stay⁺ a while with you, if the Lord permits.
8 But I will stay⁺ at Ephesus until Pentecost.
9 For a great and effective door is opened to me but there are many adversaries.
10 Now if Timothy comes, see that he may be with you without fear. For he works the work of the Lord, as I also do.
11 Therefore let no one despise him, but conduct him forth in peace so that he may come to me. For I look for him with the brothers.
12 Concerning our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come to you with the brothers. But his will was not at all to come at this time, but he will come when he has convenient time.
13 Watch. Stand fast in the faith. Be courageous⁺. Be strong.
14 Let all things be done with true love.
15 I urge you, family⁺. You know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruit of Achaia, and that they have applied⁺ themselves to the ministry of the saints.
16 See that you submit yourselves to such as them and to everyone who helps with us and labors.
17 I am glad for the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, for what you were lacking, they supplied.
18 They have refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge those who are such.
19 The assemblies⁺ of Asia greet⁺ you. Aquila and Priscilla greet⁺ you much in the Lord, along with the assembly⁺ that is in their house.
20 All the family⁺ greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
21 The salutation of Paul I make with my own hand.
22 If anyone does not delight⁺ in the Lord Jesus Christ, let them be accursed⁺. Maranatha~ Oh, Lord come.
23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
