1Co16:1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I directed the churches of Galatia, so do you also.
1Co16:2 On the first day of every week let each one of you put aside and save, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come.
1Co16:3 And when I arrive, whomever you may approve, I shall send them with letters to carry your gift to Jerusalem;
1Co16:4 and if it is fitting for me to go also, they will go with me.
1Co16:5 But I shall come to you after I go through Macedonia, for I am going through Macedonia;
1Co16:6 and perhaps I shall stay with you, or even spend the winter, that you may send me on my way wherever I may go.
1Co16:7 For 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.
1Co16:8 But I shall remain in Ephesus until Pentecost;
1Co16:9 for a wide door for effective [service] has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
1Co16:10 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.
1Co16:11 Let no one therefore despise him. But send him on his way in peace, so that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren.
1Co16:12 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.
1Co16:13 Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.
1Co16:14 Let all that you do be done in love.
1Co16:15 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),
1Co16:16 that you also be in subjection to such men and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.
1Co16:17 And I rejoice over the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus; because they have supplied what was lacking on your part.
1Co16:18 For they have refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge such men.
1Co16:19 The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Prisca greet you heartily in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.
1Co16:20 All the brethren greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
1Co16:21 The greeting is in my own hand-- Paul.
1Co16:22 If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be accursed. Maranatha.
1Co16:23 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
1Co16:24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
