BLB 1COR Chapter 16

16 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have directed the churches of Galatia, so also you are to do. 2 Every first of the week, let each of you put something aside, treasuring up whatever he may be prospered in, so that when I might come, then there should be no collections. 3 And when I shall have arrived, whomever you might approve, with letters I will send these to carry your bounty to Jerusalem. 4 And if it is suitable for me also to go, they will go with me. 5 But I will come to you when I shall have gone through Macedonia, for I am going through Macedonia. 6 And possibly I will stay with you, or even I will winter, so that you may equip me, wherever I may go. 7 For I do not want to see you now in passing; for I hope to remain a certain time with you, if the Lord permits. 8 But I will remain in Ephesus until Pentecost. 9 For a great and productive door has opened to me, and many are opposing. 10 Now if Timothy comes, see that he might be with you without fear, for he is doing the Lord's work, as I also. 11 Therefore no one should despise him. But equip him in peace, so that he might come to me; for I am expecting him with the brothers. 12 Now concerning Apollos our brother, I exhorted him greatly that he should go to you with the brothers, and his will was not at all that he should come now; but he will come when he shall have opportunity. 13 Watch you; stand firm in the faith; act like men; be strong. 14 Let all things of you be done in love. 15 Now I exhort you, brothers--you know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruit of Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to service to the saints-- 16 that you also be subject to such as these, and to everyone joining in the work and laboring. 17 Now I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because these have filled up your deficiency. 18 For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore recognize such as these. 19 The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Prisca, with the church at their house, greet you heartily in the Lord. 20 All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss. 21 The greeting is in my own hand--Paul. 22 If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be accursed. Maranatha! 23 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you. 24 My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
