1 Corinthians Chapter 16
|
||
1 Now concerning the collection for the saints: as I commanded the assemblies of Galatia, you do likewise.
|
||
2 On the first day of every week, let each one of you save as he may prosper, that no collections are made when I come.
|
||
3 When I arrive, I will send whoever you approve with letters to carry your gracious gift to Jerusalem.
|
||
4 If it is appropriate for me to go also, they will go with me.
|
||
5 I will come to you when I have passed through Macedonia, for I am passing through Macedonia.
|
||
6 But with you it may be that I will stay with you, or even winter with you, that you may send me on my journey wherever I go.
|
||
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.
|
||
8 But I will stay at Ephesus until Pentecost,
|
||
9 for a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
|
||
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.
|
||
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.
|
||
12 Now concerning Apollos the brother, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers, but it was not at all his desire to come now; but he will come when he has an opportunity.
|
||
13 Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!
|
||
14 Let all that you do be done in love.
|
||
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 that you also be in subjection to such, and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.
|
||
17 I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for that which was lacking on your part, they supplied.
|
||
18 For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge those who are like that.
|
||
19 The assemblies of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you warmly in the Lord, together with the assembly that is in their house.
|
||
20 All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
|
||
21 This greeting is by me, Paul, with my own hand.
|
||
22 If any man doesn’t love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be cursed. Come, Lord!
|
||
23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
|
||
24 My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen. |
