Corinthians 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.
