1Co16:1 Now concerning the contribution for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also are to do.
1Co16:2 On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that contributions need not be made when I come.
1Co16:3 And when I arrive, I will send those whom you accredit by letter to carry 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 Macedo'nia, for I intend to pass through Macedo'nia,
1Co16:6 and perhaps I will stay with you or even spend the winter, so that you may speed me on my journey, wherever I go.
1Co16:7 For I do not want to see you now just in passing;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 When Timothy comes, see that you put him at ease among you, for he is doing the work of the Lord, as I am.
1Co16:11 So let no one despise him. Speed him on his way in peace, that he may return to me;for I am expecting him with the brethren.
1Co16:12 As for our brother Apol'los, I strongly urged him to visit you with the other brethren, but it was not at all his will to come now. He will come when he has opportunity.
1Co16:13 Be watchful, stand firm in your faith, be courageous, be strong.
1Co16:14 Let all that you do be done in love.
1Co16:15 Now, brethren, you know that the household of Steph'anas were the first converts in Acha'ia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints;
1Co16:16 I urge you to be subject to such men and to every fellow worker and laborer.
1Co16:17 I rejoice at the coming of Steph'anas and Fortuna'tus and Acha'icus, because they have made up for your absence;
1Co16:18 for they refreshed my spirit as well as yours. Give recognition to such men.
1Co16:19 The churches of Asia send greetings. Aq'uila and Prisca, together with the church in their house, send you hearty greetings in the Lord.
1Co16:20 All the brethren send greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
1Co16:21 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand.
1Co16:22 If any one has no love for the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord, come!
1Co16:23 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
1Co16:24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
