1 Corinthians 16
The Collection for the
Saints |
1 |
Now concerning the collection for the
saints, Rom. 15.25, 26 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.
|
Plans for
Travel |
5 |
Now I will come unto you, when I shall
pass through Macedonia: Acts 19.21 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. Lev. 23.15-21 · Deut. 16.9-11
|
9 |
For a great door and effectual is opened
unto me, and there are many adversaries. Acts 19.8-10
|
10 |
Now if Timothy come, 1 Cor. 4.17 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
Apol'los, 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.
|
Final
Greetings |
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 Steph'anas, 1 Cor. 1.16 that it is the firstfruits of Achai'a, 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 laboreth.
|
17 |
I am glad of the coming of Steph'anas and
Fortuna'tus and Acha'icus: 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 Acts 18.2 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 a 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 Anath'ema, Maranath'a.
|
23 |
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
|
24 |
My love be with you all in Christ
Jesus. Amen.
