1 Corinthians 16
16
1Now, concerning the maamadot (financial contributions) and the pishkeh (pushke) we are circulating throughout the kehillot for the benefit of the Yerushalayim Kedoshim, as I directed the kehillot of Galatia, so you do also.
2Every Yom Rishon#16:2 which begins Motzoei Shabbos by Biblical reckoning, each day being an evening and a morning of each week, each of you by himself make something farnumen (set aside), storing up according to his hakhnasah (income), so that collections need not be made when I come.
3And when I arrive, whomever you approve, these I will send with iggrot to carry your matanah to Yerushalayim.
4And if it is fitting for me also to go, they will go with me.
5And I will come to you whenever I pass through Macedonia, for I will be passing through Macedonia.
6Efsher (perhaps) I will stay with you, or even spend the choref (winter) that you may help me with a send-off wherever I may go.
7For I do not want to see you now in passing, for I have the tikvah to remain some time with you, im yirtzeh Hashem (G-d willing, permitting).
8But, I will remain on in Ephesus until Shavuos,#16:8 Lv 23:15-21; Dt 16:9-11
9For a delet (door) has opened, great and effective, for me, but there are many mitnaggedim (opponents).
10Now if Timotiyos comes, see that he may be with you without fear; for the avodas kodesh of Hashem he labors in as I do.
11Therefore, let not anyone despise him. But give him a send-off in shalom that he may come to me; for I am waiting for him with the Achim b'Moshiach.
12Now, concerning Apollos the Ach b'Moshiach, I strongly exhorted him, that he would come to you with the Achim b'Moshiach. But he is beshum oifen (absolutely) unwilling to go at this time, but he will come whenever he has an opportunity.
13Watch, stand firm in the#16:13 Orthodox Jewish emunah (faith), be men, be strong.#16:13 Ps 31:24
14Let everything you do be done in ahavah (agape).
15Now, I urge you, Achim b'Moshiach, you have da'as of the bais of Stephanas, that it is the bikkurim of Achaia, and that they have with devotion and zerizut (diligence) put themselves in avodas kodesh ministry for the Kedoshim.
16Become submissive to such as him and to everyone joining in the avodas kodesh and laboring.
17Now, I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and of Fortunatus and of Achaicus, because these men filled up your absence,
18For they refreshed my neshamah and yours. Give recognition to such men.#16:18 1C 14:38
19Drishat Shalom from the Kehillot of Moshiach of Asia. Drishat Shalom warmly in Adoneinu from Aquila and Prisca, together with the Adat Moshiach in their bais.
20Drishat Shalom from all the Achim b'Moshiach. Greet one another with a neshikat hakodesh (holy kiss).
21THIS GREETING WITH MY OWN HAND, SHA'UL.
22If anyone does not have ahavah (love) for HaAdon, Alav ki Cherem hu (a curse of the ban of destruction is on him).#16:22 1C 12:3 Marana (our L-rd), tha (come).
23The Chen v'Chesed Hashem of Moshiach Adoneinu be with you.
24My ahavah be with you all in Moshiach Yehoshua.

The Offering for Fellow-believers
1 #
Rom 15.25–26
Now, concerning what you wrote about the money to be raised to help God's people in Judea. You must do what I told the churches in Galatia to do. 2Every Sunday each of you must put aside some money, in proportion to what you have earned, and save it up, so that there will be no need to collect money when I come. 3After I come, I shall give letters of introduction to those you have approved, and send them to take your gift to Jerusalem. 4If it seems worthwhile for me to go, then they can go along with me.
Paul's Plans

Acts 19.21
I shall come to you after I have gone through Macedonia — for I have to go through Macedonia. 6I shall probably spend some time with you, perhaps the whole winter, and then you can help me to continue my journey, wherever it is I shall go next. 7I want to see you more than just briefly in passing; I hope to spend quite a long time with you, if the Lord allows.

Lev 23.15–21; Deut 16.9–11 #
Acts 19.8–10
I will stay here in Ephesus until the day of Pentecost. 9There is a real opportunity here for great and worthwhile work, even though there are many opponents.

1 Cor 4.17
If Timothy comes your way, be sure to make him feel welcome among you, because he is working for the Lord, just as I am. 11No one should look down on him, but you must help him to continue his trip in peace, so that he will come back to me; for I am expecting him back with the brothers and sisters.
12Now, about brother Apollos. I have often encouraged him to visit you with the other believers, but he is not completely convinced#16.12 he is not completely convinced; or it is not at all God's will. that he should go at this time. When he gets the chance, however, he will go.
Final Words
13Be alert, stand firm in the faith, be brave, be strong. 14Do all your work in love.

1 Cor 1.16
You know about Stephanas and his family; they are the first Christian converts in Achaia and have given themselves to the service of God's people. I beg you, my brothers and sisters, 16to follow the leadership of such people as these, and of anyone else who works and serves with them.
17I am happy about the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus; they have made up for your absence 18and have cheered me up, just as they cheered you up. Such men as these deserve notice.

Acts 18.2
The churches in the province of Asia send you their greetings; Aquila and Priscilla and the church that meets in their house send warm Christian greetings. 20All the believers here send greetings.
Greet one another with a holy kiss.
21With my own hand I write this: Greetings from Paul.
22Whoever does not love the Lord — a curse on him!
Marana tha — Our Lord, come!
23The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
24My love be with you all in Christ Jesus.
