1 Corinthians 16
1. Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order * to the churches of Galatia, even so do * ye.
2. Upon the first day of the week let * every one of you lay * by him in store * , as God hath prospered him * , that * there be * no gatherings when I come * .
3. And when I come * , whomsoever ye shall approve * by your letters, them will I send * to bring * your liberality unto Jerusalem.
4. And if it be * meet that I go * also, they shall go * with me.
5. Now I will come * unto you,when I shall pass through * Macedonia:for I do pass through * Macedonia.
6. And it may be * that I will abide * , yea, and winter * with you, that ye may bring * me on my journey * whithersoever I go * .
7. For I will * not see * you now by the way; but I trust * to tarry * a while with you, if the Lord permit * .
8. But I will tarry * at Ephesus until Pentecost.
9. For a great door and effectual is opened * unto me, and there are many adversaries * .
10. Now if Timotheus come * , see * that he may be * with you without fear: for he worketh * the work of the Lord, as I also do.
11. Let * no man therefore despise * him: but conduct * him forth * in peace, that he may come * unto me: for I look for * him with the brethren.
12. As touching our brother Apollos,I * greatly desired * him to come * unto you with the brethren: but his will was * not at all to come * at this time; but he will come * when he shall have convenient time * .
13. Watch ye * , stand fast * in the faith, quit * you like men * , be strong * .
14. Let * all * your things be done * with charity.
15. I beseech * you, brethren,(ye know * the house of Stephanas, that it is * the firstfruits of Achaia,and that they have addicted * themselves to the ministry of the saints,)
16. That ye submit yourselves * unto such, and to every one that helpeth * with us, and laboureth * .
17. I am glad * of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied * .
18. For they have refreshed * my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye * them that are such.
19. The churches of Asia salute * you. Aquila and Priscilla salute * you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.
20. All the brethren greet * you.Greet ye * one another with an holy kiss.
21. The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.
22. If any man love * not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be * Anathema Maranatha.
23. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
24. My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen. <<The first epistle to the Corinthians was written * from Philippi by Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus and Timotheus.>>
