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.

A Collection for God's People
1 #
Ro 15.25,26. When you collect money for God's people, I want you to do exactly what I told the churches in Galatia to do. 2That is, each Sunday each of you must put aside part of what you have earned. If you do this, you won't have to take up a collection when I come. 3Choose some followers to take the money to Jerusalem. I will send them on with the money and with letters which show that you approve of them. 4If you think I should go along, they can go with me.
Paul's Travel Plans
5 #
Ac 19.21. After I have gone through Macedonia, I hope to see you 6and visit with you for a while. I may even stay all winter, so that you can help me on my way to wherever I will be going next. 7If the Lord lets me, I would rather come later for a longer visit than to stop off now for only a short visit. 8#Lv 23.15-21; Dt 16.9-11. #Ac 19.8-10. I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost, 9because there is a wonderful opportunity for me to do some work here. But there are also many people who are against me.

1 Co 4.17. When Timothy arrives, give him a friendly welcome. He is doing the Lord's work, just as I am. 11Don't let anyone mistreat him. I am looking for him to return to me together with the other followers. So when he leaves, send him off with your blessings.
12I have tried hard to get our friend Apollos to visit you with the other followers. He doesn't want to come just now, but he will come when he can.
Personal Concerns and Greetings
13Keep alert. Be firm in your faith. Stay brave and strong. 14Show love in everything you do.

1 Co 1.16. You know that Stephanas and his family were the first in Achaia to have faith in the Lord. They have done all they can for God's people. My friends, I ask you 16to obey leaders like them and to do the same for all others who work hard with you.
17I was glad to see Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus. Having them here was like having you. 18They made me feel much better, just as they made you feel better. You should appreciate people like them.

Ac 18.2. Greetings from the churches in Asia.
Aquila and Priscilla, together with the church that meets in their house, send greetings in the name of the Lord.
20All the Lord's followers send their greetings.
Give each other a warm greeting.
21I am signing this letter myself: PAUL.
22I pray that God will put a curse on everyone who doesn't love the Lord. And may the Lord come soon.
23I pray the Lord Jesus will be kind to you.
24I love everyone who belongs to Christ Jesus.
