1 Corinthians 16

1 Corinthians 16

1Now concerning the collection for the saints: as I commanded the assemblies of Galatia , you do likewise .

2On the first day of every week , let each one of you save as he may prosper , that no collections are made when I come .

3When I arrive , I will send whoever you approve with letters to carry your gracious gift to Jerusalem .

4If it is appropriate for me to go also , they will go with me .

5I will come to you when I have passed through Macedonia , for I am passing through Macedonia .

6But 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 .

7For I do not wish to see you now in passing , but I hope to stay a while with you , if the Lord permits .

8But I will stay at Ephesus until Pentecost ,

9for a great and effective door has opened to me , and there are many adversaries.

10Now if Timothy comes , see that he is with you without fear , for he does the work of the Lord , as I also do .

11Therefore 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.

12Now 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 .

13Watch ! Stand firm in the faith ! Be courageous! Be strong !

14Let all that you do be done in love.

15Now 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—

16that you also be in subjection to such , and to everyone who helps in the work and labours.

17I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas , Fortunatus , and Achaicus; for that which was lacking on your part , they supplied.

18For they refreshed my spirit and yours . Therefore acknowledge those who are like that .

19The assemblies of Asia greet you . Aquila and Priscilla greet you warmly in the Lord , together with the assembly that is in their house .

20All the brothers greet you . Greet one another with a holy kiss .

21This greeting is by me , Paul , with my own hand .

22If any man doesn’t love the Lord Jesus Christ , let him be cursed. Come , Lord ![#16:22 Greek: anathema.; #16:22 Aramaic: Maranatha!]

23The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you .

24My love to all of you in Christ Jesus . Amen.
