1 Corinthians 16

16
CHAPTIR SAXTEEN.
Siller for the puir saunts. A wheen pairtin words and salutations.
1Noo, anent the siller for the saunts, eʼen as I gae orders to the Kirks oʼ Galatia, sae eʼen do ye.
2On the first day oʼ the week, lat ilk ane oʼ ye lay‐by by himsel, gaitherin up, whatsoeʼer he may be prosperʼt wiʼ; least, whan I come, collections may be still gaun on.
3But, whan I come, whaeʼer ye may appruve, them wull I send wiʼ letters, to cairry yere bounty to Jerusalem.
4And, gin it be needfuʼ that I gang as weel, they sal gang wiʼ me
5And I wull come to ye, at siclike time as I gang throwe Macedonia: for I div gang throwe Macedonia.
6And wiʼ you, aiblins, I may stop, or eʼen winter; and ye sal set me forrit on my journey.
7For I divna desire to see ye e‐noo, juist in passin; for I am in hope to stop a gey while wiʼ ye, gin the Lord wull.
8But I wull stop in Ephesus till Pentecost;
9For a door has been unsteekit for me, great and effectual; and thar are a hantle adversaries.
10But gin Timothy come, see ye that he may be wiʼye withoot dreid; for, eʼen as I, he is workin the Lordʼs wark.
11Lat nae ane lichtlie him; but set him forrit in peace, sae as he may come to me; for I am lookin for him wiʼ the brethren.
12Anent oor brither Apollos: I entreatit him muckle that he wad gang to ye wiʼ the brethren, but his mind wasna to gang noo; but he wull gang whan he sal hae fit opportunity.
13Tak tent: haud ye fast iʼ the faith; be ye men; be sterk.
14Lat aʼ things be carryʼt on in love.
15And I entreat ye, brethren — ye ken the hoose oʼ Stephanus, a first‐frute oʼ Greece, and that they hae set theirsels to a service oʼ the saunts —
16That ye submit yersels to siclike as thae, and to ilk ane that is helpin in the wark, and toilin.
17But I am blythe ower the comin oʼ Stephanus and Fortunatus and Achaicus; for they made up for yere want.
18For they gied rest to my spirit and yours. Be ye, than, ownin sic as thae.
19The Kirks oʼ Asia salute ye. Aquila and Prisca, wiʼ the meetin in their hoose, salute ye muckle in the Lord.
20Aʼ the brethren salute ye. Salute ye ane anither wiʼ a sacred kiss.
21The salutation oʼ me, Paul, wiʼ my ain haun.
22Gin ony ane loeʼs‐na the Lord, lat him be accursed; #16:22 Twa Aramaic words, meanin “The Lord comes!” Paul left them in his Greek untranslatit, as we do iʼ the Scots. There is whiles an advantage in lettin a word sae bide: it sets folk speirin and thinkin.Maran‐atha!
23The tender love oʼ the Lord Jesus be wiʼye.
24My love be wiʼye aʼ, in Christ Jesus.
