1 Corinthians 16
1NOW concerning the collection for the saints, as I gave order to the churches of Galatia, so also do ye.
2On each first day of the week, let every one of you lay by him in store, according as he is prospered, that there may be no collections when I come.
3And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve, them I will send with letters to carry your benefaction to Jerusalem.
4And if it be worthy of my going also, they shall go with me.
5And I will come to you, when I shall pass through Macedonia. For I pass through Macedonia;
6and it may be that I will remain, or even pass the winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go.
7For I wish not to see you now, in passing; for I hope to remain some time with you, if the Lord permit.
8But I shall remain at Ephesus until the Pentecost.
9For a great and effectual door is open to me, and there are many adversaries.
10Now if Timothy come, see that he may be with you without fear; for he works the work of the Lord, as I also do.
11Let no one therefore despise him; but send him forward in peace, that he may come to me; for I look for him with the brethren.
12And concerning Apollos the brother, I besought him much to come to you with the brethren; and it was not at all his will to come at this time, but he will come when he shall have a convenient time.
13Watch, stand fast in the faith, acquit you like men, be strong.
14Let all your acts be done in love.
15And I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they devoted themselves to the service of the saints,)
16that ye also submit yourselves to such, and to every one that works with us, and labors.
17I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus; for what was lacking on your part they supplied.
18For they refreshed my spirit and yours; therefore acknowledge those who are such.
19The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.
20All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss.
21The salutation of me, Paul, with my own hand.
22If any one loves not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. Maran atha[16:22]!
23The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
24My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
