| Now concerning the contribution for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also are to do. | The Contribution for the Saints 1Cor.16.1-4 | ||
| On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that contributions need not be made when I come. | |||
| And when I arrive, I will send those whom you accredit by letter to carry your gift to Jerusalem. | |||
| If it seems advisable that I should go also, they will accompany me. | |||
| I will visit you after passing through Macedo'nia, for I intend to pass through Macedo'nia, | Plans for Travel 1Cor.16.5-12 | ||
| and perhaps I will stay with you or even spend the winter, so that you may speed me on my journey, wherever I go. | |||
| For I do not want to see you now just in passing; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits. | |||
| But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost, | |||
| for a wide door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many adversaries. | |||
| When Timothy comes, see that you put him at ease among you, for he is doing the work of the Lord, as I am. | |||
| So let no one despise him. Speed him on his way in peace, that he may return to me; for I am expecting him with the brethren. | |||
| As for our brother Apol'los, I strongly urged him to visit you with the other brethren, but it was not at all his will to come now. He will come when he has opportunity. | |||
| Be watchful, stand firm in your faith, be courageous, be strong. | Final Request and Greetings 1Cor.16.13-24 top | ||
| Let all that you do be done in love. | |||
| Now, brethren, you know that the household of Steph'anas were the first converts in Acha'ia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints; | |||
| I urge you to be subject to such men and to every fellow worker and laborer. | |||
| I rejoice at the coming of Steph'anas and Fortuna'tus and Acha'icus, because they have made up for your absence; | |||
| for they refreshed my spirit as well as yours. Give recognition to such men. | |||
| The churches of Asia send greetings. Aq'uila and Prisca, together with the church in their house, send you hearty greetings in the Lord. | |||
| All the brethren send greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss. | |||
| I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. | |||
| If anyone has no love for the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord, come! | |||
| The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you. | |||
| My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen. | |||
