1 Cor 16:1Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I directed the churches of Galatia, so do you also.
1 Cor 16:2On the first day of every week each one of you is to put aside and save, as he may prosper, so that no collections be made when I come.
1 Cor 16:3When I arrive, whomever you may approve, I will send them with letters to carry your gift to Jerusalem;
1 Cor 16:4and if it is fitting for me to go also, they will go with me.
1 Cor 16:5¶ But I will come to you after I go through Macedonia, for I am going through Macedonia;
1 Cor 16:6and perhaps I will stay with you, or even spend the winter, so that you may send me on my way wherever I may go.
1 Cor 16:7For I do not wish to see you now just in passing; for I hope to remain with you for some time, if the Lord permits.
1 Cor 16:8But I will remain in Ephesus until Pentecost;
1 Cor 16:9for a wide door for effective service has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
1 Cor 16:10¶ Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without cause to be afraid, for he is doing the Lord's work, as I also am.
1 Cor 16:11So let no one despise him. But send him on his way in peace, so that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren.
1 Cor 16:12¶ But concerning Apollos our brother, I encouraged him greatly to come to you with the brethren; and it was not at all his desire to come now, but he will come when he has opportunity.
1 Cor 16:13¶ Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.
1 Cor 16:14Let all that you do be done in love.
1 Cor 16:15¶ Now I urge you, brethren (you know the household of Stephanas, that they were the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves for ministry to the saints),
1 Cor 16:16that you also be in subjection to such men and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.
1 Cor 16:17I rejoice over the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they have supplied what was lacking on your part.
1 Cor 16:18For they have refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge such men.
1 Cor 16:19¶ The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Prisca greet you heartily in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.
1 Cor 16:20All the brethren greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
1 Cor 16:21¶ The greeting is in my own hand--Paul.
1 Cor 16:22If anyone does not love the Lord, he is to be accursed. Maranatha.
1 Cor 16:23The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
1 Cor 16:24My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
