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.

The Offering for Fellow-believers

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.
