1 Corinthians 16
16
1Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I gave order to the churches of Galatia, so also do ye. 2Upon the first day of the week let each one of you lay by him in store, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come. 3And when I arrive, whomsoever ye shall approve, them will I send with letters to carry your bounty unto Jerusalem: 4and if it be meet for me to go also, they shall go with me. 5But I will come unto you, when I shall have passed through Macedonia; for I pass through Macedonia; 6but with you it may be that I shall abide, or even winter, that ye may set me forward on my journey whithersoever I go. 7For I do not wish to see you now by the way; for I hope to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit. 8But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost; 9for a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.
10Now if Timothy come, see that he be with you without fear; for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do: 11let no man therefore despise him. But set him forward on his journey in peace, that he may come unto me: for I expect him with the brethren. 12But as touching Apollos the brother, I besought him much to come unto you with the brethren: and it was not at all his will to come now; but he will come when he shall have opportunity.
13Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. 14Let all that ye do be done in love.
15Now I beseech you, brethren (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have set themselves to minister unto the saints), 16that ye also be in subjection unto such, and to every one that helpeth in the work and laboreth. 17And I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they supplied. 18For they refreshed my spirit and yours: acknowledge ye therefore them that are such.
19The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Prisca salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house. 20All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss.
21The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand. 22If any man loveth not the Lord, let him be anathema. Maranatha. 23The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. 24My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

1 Corinthians 16
16
1Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I directed the assemblies of Galatia, so do ye do also. 2On the first of the week let each of you put by at home, laying up in whatever degree he may have prospered, that there may be no collections when I come. 3And when I am arrived, whomsoever ye shall approve, these I will send with letters to carry your bounty to Jerusalem: 4and if it be suitable that I also should go, they shall go with me.
5But I will come to you when I shall have gone through Macedonia; for I do go through Macedonia. 6But perhaps I will stay with you, or even winter with you, that ye may set me forward wheresoever I may go. 7For I will not see you now in passing, for I hope to remain a certain time with you, if the Lord permit. 8But I remain in Ephesus until Pentecost. 9For a great door is opened to me and an effectual one, and the adversaries many.
10Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear; for he works the work of the Lord, even as I. 11Let not therefore any one despise him; but set him forward in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren. 12Now concerning the brother Apollos, I begged him much that he would go to you with the brethren; but it was not at all his will to go now; but he will come when he shall have good opportunity.
13Be vigilant; stand fast in the faith; quit yourselves like men; be strong. 14Let all things ye do be done in love. 15But I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruits of Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the saints for service,) 16that ye should also be subject to such, and to every one joined in the work and labouring. 17But I rejoice in the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus; because they have supplied what was lacking on your part. 18For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: own therefore such.
19The assemblies of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla, with the assembly in their house, salute you much in the Lord. 20All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss. 21The salutation of me Paul with my own hand. 22If any one love not the Lord Jesus Christ let him be Anathema Maranatha. 23The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. 24My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
