1Co16:1 Now concerning the collection for the saints: you should follow the directions I gave to the churches of Galatia.
1Co16:2 On the first day of every week, each of you is to put aside and save whatever extra you earn, so that collections need not be taken when I come.
1Co16:3 And when I arrive, I will send any whom you approve with letters to take your gift to Jerusalem.
1Co16:4 If it seems advisable that I should go also, they will accompany me.
1Co16:5 I will visit you after passing through Macedonia-- for I intend to pass through Macedonia--
1Co16:6 and perhaps I will stay with you or even spend the winter, so that you may send me on my way, wherever I go.
1Co16:7 I do not want to see you now just in passing, for I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.
1Co16:8 But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost,
1Co16:9 for a wide door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
1Co16:10 If Timothy comes, see that he has nothing to fear among you, for he is doing the work of the Lord just as I am;
1Co16:11 therefore let no one despise him. Send him on his way in peace, so that he may come to me; for I am expecting him with the brothers.
1Co16:12 Now concerning our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to visit you with the other brothers, but he was not at all willing to come now. He will come when he has the opportunity.
1Co16:13 Keep alert, stand firm in your faith, be courageous, be strong.
1Co16:14 Let all that you do be done in love.
1Co16:15 Now, brothers and sisters, you know that members of the household of Stephanas were the first converts in Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints;
1Co16:16 I urge you to put yourselves at the service of such people, and of everyone who works and toils with them.
1Co16:17 I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they have made up for your absence;
1Co16:18 for they refreshed my spirit as well as yours. So give recognition to such persons.
1Co16:19 The churches of Asia send greetings. Aquila and Prisca, together with the church in their house, greet you warmly in the Lord.
1Co16:20 All the brothers and sisters send greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
1Co16:21 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand.
1Co16:22 Let anyone be accursed who has no love for the Lord. Our Lord, come!
1Co16:23 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
1Co16:24 My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus.
