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
16
1Now about “collecting money for fellow-believers.” I'm giving you the same instructions for you to follow as I did to the churches in Galatia. 2On the first day of the week everybody should set aside some money you've earned. I don't want there to be any collections to have to be made when I'm with you. 3When I get there I will write recommendation letters for whoever you choose, and they will take your donation to Jerusalem. 4If it works out for me to go too, they can come with me.
5After I've been to Macedonia, I plan to come and visit you. I pass that way through Macedonia 6and I may stay with you for a while, perhaps spend the winter, and then you can send me on my way to wherever I'm headed. 7This time I don't want to come and see you for just a short time. I hope I can stay for a while with you, if that's what the Lord permits. 8However, I will stay on at Ephesus until Pentecost, 9because a tremendous door of opportunity has opened up for me there, though there are plenty who oppose me.
10Now if Timothy arrives, make sure that he has nothing to fear by being with you, for he's working for the Lord just as I am. 11Don't let anyone look down on him. Cheerfully send him on his way so he can come and see me—the brothers and sisters and I are waiting for him. 12As for our brother Apollos: I urged him to go and see you together with the other believers, but he wasn't willing to go at the moment. He'll come and visit when he gets the chance.
13Stay alert. Stand firm in your trust in God. Take courage. Be strong. 14Whatever you do, do it in love. 15You know that Stephanas and his family were among the first converts in Achaia, and they dedicated themselves to helping God's people. I'm pleading with you, my brothers and sisters, 16to respect their leadership, and everyone who helps the work with such dedication. 17I'm delighted that Stephanas, Fortunatas, and Achaicus have arrived here, for they did what you weren't able to. 18They have been a great source of encouragement to me, and to you. People like that deserve your recognition.
19The churches of Asia#16:19. Referring to the Roman province of Asia Minor. send their greetings. Aquila and Priscilla, along with the church that meets in their home, send their best wishes. 20All the brothers and sisters here send their greetings. Greet one another affectionately. 21I Paul write this greeting with my own hand. 22Anyone who doesn't love the Lord should be excluded from the church.#16:22. Literally, “let him be accursed.” Come Lord! 23May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. 24My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
