1 Corinthians Chapter[BR] 16

1 And concerning the collection that *is for the saints, as I directed to the assemblies of Galatia, so also ye -- do ye;

2 on every first *day of the week, let each one of you lay by him, treasuring up whatever he may have prospered, that when I may come then collections may not be made;

1 Corinthians Chapter[BR] 16

3 and whenever I may come, whomsoever ye may approve, through letters, these I will send to carry your favour to Jerusalem;

4 and if it be meet for me also to go, with me they shall go.

5 And I will come unto you, when I pass through Macedonia -- for Macedonia I do pass through --

6 and with you, it may be, I will abide, or even winter, that ye may send me forward whithersoever I go,

1 Corinthians Chapter[BR] 16

7 for I do not wish to see you now in the passing, but I hope to remain a certain time with you, if the Lord may permit;

8 and I will remain in Ephesus till the Pentecost,

9 for a door to me hath been opened -- great and effectual -- and withstanders *are many.

10 And if Timotheus may come, see that he may become without fear with you, for the work of the Lord he doth work, even as I,

1 Corinthians Chapter[BR] 16

11 no one, then, may despise him; and send ye him forward in peace, that he may come to me, for I expect him with the brethren;

12 and concerning Apollos our brother, much I did entreat him that he may come unto you with the brethren, and it was not at all *his will that he may come now, and he will come when he may find convenient.

1 Corinthians Chapter[BR] 16

13 Watch ye, stand in the faith; be men, be strong;

14 let all your things be done in love.

15 And I entreat you, brethren, ye have known the household of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruit of Achaia, and to the ministration to the saints they did set themselves --

16 that ye also be subject to such, and to every one who is working with *us and labouring;

1 Corinthians Chapter[BR] 16

17 and I rejoice over the presence of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, because the lack of you did these fill up;

18 for they did refresh my spirit and yours; acknowledge ye, therefore, those who *are such.

19 Salute you do the assemblies of Asia; salute you much in the Lord do Aquilas and Priscilla, with the assembly in their house;

1 Corinthians Chapter[BR] 16

20 salute you do all the brethren; salute ye one another in an holy kiss.

21 The salutation of *me Paul with my hand;

22 if any one doth not love the Lord Jesus Christ -- let him be anathema! The Lord hath come!

23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ *is with you;

1 Corinthians Chapter[BR] 16

24 my love *is with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
