Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians, Chapter 16
{16:1} Now concerning the collection for the holy ones, as I
commanded the assemblies of Galatia, you do likewise. {16:2} On the
first day of the week, let each one of you save, as he may prosper,
that no collections be made when I come. {16:3} When I arrive, I will
send whoever you approve with letters to carry your gracious gift to
Jerusalem. {16:4} If it is appropriate for me to go also, they will go
with me. {16:5} But I will come to you when I have passed through
Macedonia, for I am passing through Macedonia. {16:6} But with you it
may be that I will stay, or even winter, that you may send me on my
journey wherever I go. {16:7} For I do not wish to see you now in
passing, but I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits.
{16:8} But I will stay at Ephesus until Shavu`ot, {16:9} for a great
and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
{16:10} Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear,
for he does the work of the Lord, as I also do. {16:11} Therefore let
no one despise him. But set him forward on his journey in peace, that
he may come to me; for I expect him with the brothers.
{16:12} Now concerning Apollos, the brother, I strongly urged him to
come to you with the brothers; and it was not at all his desire to
come now; but he will come when he has an opportunity.
{16:13} Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!
{16:14} Let all that you do be done in love.
{16:15} Now I beg you, brothers (you know the house of Stephanas,
that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have set
themselves to serve the holy ones), {16:16} that you also be in
subjection to such, and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.
{16:17} I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and
Achaicus; for that which was lacking on your part, they supplied.
{16:18} For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge
those who are like that.
{16:19} The assemblies of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet
you much in the Lord, together with the assembly that is in their
house. {16:20} All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a
holy kiss.
{16:21} This greeting is by me, Paul, with my own hand. {16:22} If
any man doesn't love the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, let him be
[1>]accursed[<1]. [2>]Come, Lord![<2] {16:23} The grace of the Lord
Yeshua the Messiah be with you. {16:24} My love to all of you in
Messiah Yeshua. Amen.
