1 Corinthians
Chapter 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.
