1 Corinthians 16

1 Ref And concerning the collection that `is' for the saints, as I directed to the assemblies of Galatia, so also ye -- do ye;

2 Ref on every first `day' of the week, let each one of you lay by him, treasuring up whatever he may have prospered, that when I may come then collections may not be made;

3 Ref and whenever I may come, whomsoever ye may approve, through letters, these I will send to carry your favour to Jerusalem;

4 Ref and if it be meet for me also to go, with me they shall go.

5 Ref And I will come unto you, when I pass through Macedonia -- for Macedonia I do pass through --

6 Ref and with you, it may be, I will abide, or even winter, that ye may send me forward whithersoever I go,

7 Ref for I do not wish to see you now in the passing, but I hope to remain a certain time with you, if the Lord may permit;

8 Ref and I will remain in Ephesus till the Pentecost,

9 Ref for a door to me hath been opened -- great and effectual -- and withstanders `are' many.

10 Ref And if Timotheus may come, see that he may become without fear with you, for the work of the Lord he doth work, even as I,

11 Ref no one, then, may despise him; and send ye him forward in peace, that he may come to me, for I expect him with the brethren;

12 Ref and concerning Apollos our brother, much I did entreat him that he may come unto you with the brethren, and it was not at all `his' will that he may come now, and he will come when he may find convenient.

13 Ref Watch ye, stand in the faith; be men, be strong;

14 Ref let all your things be done in love.

15 Ref And I entreat you, brethren, ye have known the household of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruit of Achaia, and to the ministration to the saints they did set themselves --

16 Ref that ye also be subject to such, and to every one who is working with `us' and labouring;

17 Ref and I rejoice over the presence of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, because the lack of you did these fill up;

18 Ref for they did refresh my spirit and yours; acknowledge ye, therefore, those who `are' such.

19 Ref Salute you do the assemblies of Asia; salute you much in the Lord do Aquilas and Priscilla, with the assembly in their house;

20 Ref salute you do all the brethren; salute ye one another in an holy kiss.

21 Ref The salutation of `me' Paul with my hand;

22 Ref if any one doth not love the Lord Jesus Christ -- let him be anathema! The Lord hath come!

23 Ref The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ `is' with you;

24 Ref my love `is' with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
