1 Corinthians Chapter 16 Back{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 serve 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.
Come, Lord!{16:23} The
grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
{16:24} My love to all of you in Christ Jesus.
Amen.
