1 Corinthians Chapter 16 (NASB)
undefined
Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I directed the churches of Galatia, so do you also.
undefined
On the first day of every week each one of you is to put aside and save, as he may prosper, so that no collections be made when I come.
undefined
When I arrive, whomever you may approve, I will send them with letters to carry your gift to Jerusalem;
undefined
and if it is fitting for me to go also, they will go with me.
undefined
But I will come to you after I go through Macedonia, for I am going through Macedonia;
undefined
and perhaps I will stay with you, or even spend the winter, so that you may send me on my way wherever I may go.
undefined
For I do not wish to see you now [just] in passing; for I hope to remain with you for some time, if the Lord permits.
undefined
But I will remain in Ephesus until Pentecost;
undefined
for a wide door for effective [service] has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
undefined
Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without cause to be afraid, for he is doing the Lord's work, as I also am.
undefined
So let no one despise him. But send him on his way in peace, so that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren.
undefined
But concerning Apollos our brother, I encouraged him greatly to come to you with the brethren; and it was not at all [his] desire to come now, but he will come when he has opportunity.
undefined
Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.
undefined
Let all that you do be done in love.
undefined
Now I urge you, brethren (you know the household of Stephanas, that they were the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves for ministry to the saints),
undefined
that you also be in subjection to such men and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.
undefined
I rejoice over the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they have supplied what was lacking on your part.
undefined
For they have refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge such men.
undefined
The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Prisca greet you heartily in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.
undefined
All the brethren greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
undefined
The greeting is in my own hand-- Paul.
undefined
If anyone does not love the Lord, he is to be accursed. Maranatha.
undefined
The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
undefined
My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
