1 Corinthians
16:1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to
the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.
16:2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store,
as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.
16:3 And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will
I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.
16:4 And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.
16:5 Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do
pass through Macedonia.
16:6 And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may
bring me on my journey whithersoever I go.
16:7 For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with
you, if the Lord permit.
16:8 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
16:9 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many
adversaries.
16:10 Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he
worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do.
16:11 Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that
he may come unto me: for I look for him with the brethren.
16:12 As touching our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come unto you
with the brethren: but his will was not at all to come at this time; but
he will come when he shall have convenient time.
16:13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
16:14 Let all your things be done with charity.
16:15 I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the
firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the
ministry of the saints,)
16:16 That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with
us, and laboureth.
16:17 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for
that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.
16:18 For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye
them that are such.
16:19 The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in
the Lord, with the church that is in their house.
16:20 All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.
16:21 The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.
16:22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema
Maranatha.
16:23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
16:24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
