Qorintiyim Aleph (1 Corinthians) 16
16
1And concerning the collections for the set-apart ones, you are to do as I gave orders to the assemblies of Galatia:
2Every day one of the week#Gk. one of the sabbath (singular). let each one of you set aside, storing up whatever he is prospered, so that there are no collections when I come.
3And when I come, whomever you approve by your letters, I shall send to bear your gift to Yerushalayim.
4And if it is fitting for me to go, they shall go with me.
5And I shall come to you when I pass through Makedonia, for I am passing through Makedonia.
6And possibly I shall stay with you, or even spend the winter, so that you send me forward, wherever I go.
7For I do not wish to see you now on the way, but I expect to stay a while with you, if the Master permits.
8And I shall remain in Ephesos until the Festival of Shaḇu’ot.#Weeks.
9For a great and effective door has opened to me, and many are opposing.
10And if Timotiyos comes, see that he is with you without fear, for he does the work of the Master, even as I.
11Therefore let no one despise him. And send him forward in peace, so that he comes to me, for I am waiting for him with the brothers.
12And concerning our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers, but he had no desire at all to come at this time; however, he shall come when it is convenient.
13Watch, stand fast in the belief, be men, be strong.
14Let all that you do be done in love.
15And I urge you, brothers, you know the household of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruit of Achaia, and that they have assigned themselves for service to the set-apart ones,
16that you also be subject to such, and to everyone who works and labours with us.
17And I rejoice about the coming of Stephanas, and Fortunatos, and Achaikos, for what was lacking on your part they supplied.
18For they refreshed my spirit and yours, therefore give recognition to such ones.
19The assemblies of Asia greet you. Aqulas and Priscilla greet you heartily in the Master, with the assembly that is in their house.
20All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a set-apart kiss.
21The greeting with my own hand – Sha’ul.
22If anyone does not love the Master יהושע Messiah, let him be a curse. Maranatha!
23The favour of our Master יהושע Messiah be with you.
24My love be with you all in Messiah יהושע. Amĕn.

1 Corinthians 16

The Gift for Other Believers
1Now I will write about the collection of money for God’s people. Do the same thing I told the Galatian churches to do: 2On the first day of every week, each one of you should put aside money as you have been blessed. Save it up so you will not have to collect money after I come. 3When I arrive, I will send whomever you approve to take your gift to Jerusalem. I will send them with letters of introduction, 4and if it seems good for me to go also, they will go along with me.
Paul’s Plans
5I plan to go through Macedonia, so I will come to you after I go through there. 6Perhaps I will stay with you for a time or even all winter. Then you can help me on my trip, wherever I go. 7I do not want to see you now just in passing. I hope to stay a longer time with you if the Lord allows it. 8But I will stay at Ephesus until Pentecost, 9because a good opportunity for a great and growing work has been given to me now. And there are many people working against me.
10If Timothy comes to you, see to it that he has nothing to fear with you, because he is working for the Lord just as I am. 11So none of you should treat Timothy as unimportant, but help him on his trip in peace so that he can come back to me. I am expecting him to come with the brothers.
12Now about our brother Apollos: I strongly encouraged him to visit you with the other brothers. He did not at all want to come now; he will come when he has the opportunity.
Paul Ends His Letter
13Be alert. Continue strong in the faith. Have courage, and be strong. 14Do everything in love.
15You know that the family of Stephanas were the first believers in Southern Greece and that they have given themselves to the service of God’s people. I ask you, brothers and sisters, 16to follow the leading of people like these and anyone else who works and serves with them.
17I am happy that Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus have come. You are not here, but they have filled your place. 18They have refreshed my spirit and yours. You should recognize the value of people like these.
19The churches in Asia send greetings to you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you in the Lord, as does the church that meets in their house. 20All the brothers and sisters here send greetings. Give each other a holy kiss when you meet.
21I, Paul, am writing this greeting with my own hand.
22If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be separated from God—lost forever!
Come, O Lord!
23The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
24My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus.
