1 Corinthians 16
16
1NOW concerning the collections that are made for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, so do ye also.
2On the first day of the week let every one of you put apart with himself, laying up what it shall well please him; that when I come, the collections be not then to be made.
3And when I shall be with you, whomsoever you shall approve by letters, them will I send to carry your grace to Jerusalem.
4And if it be meet that I also go, they shall go with me.
5Now I will come to you, when I shall have passed through Macedonia. For I shall pass through Macedonia.
6And with you perhaps I shall abide, or even spend the winter: that you may bring me on my way whithersoever I shall go.
7For I will not see you now by the way, for I trust that I shall abide with you some time, if the Lord permit.
8But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
9For a great door and evident is opened unto me: and many adversaries.
10Now if Timothy come, see that he be with you without fear, for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do.
11Let no man therefore despise him, but conduct ye him on his way in peace: that he may come to me. For I look for him with the breatheren.
12And touching our brother Apollo, I give you to understand, that I much entreated him to come unto you with the breatheren: and indeed it was not his will at all to come at this time. But he will come when he shall have leisure.
13Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, do manfully, and be strengthened.
14Let all your things be done in charity.
15And I beseech you, brethren, you know the house of Stephanas, and of Fortunatus, and of Achaicus, that they are the firstfruits of Achaia, and have dedicated themselves to the ministry of the saints:
16That you also be subject to such, and to every one that worketh with us, and laboureth.
17And I rejoice in the presence of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, because that which was wanting on your part, they have supplied.
18For they have refreshed both my spirit and yours. Know them, therefore, that are such.
19The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house, with whom I also lodge.
20All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss.
21The salutation of me Paul, with my own hand.
22If any man love not our Lord Jesus Christ, let him be anathema, maranatha.
23The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
24My charity be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

I Corinthians 16
16
Collection for the Saints
1Now concerning #Acts 11:29; Gal. 2:10the collection for the saints, as I have given orders to the churches of Galatia, so you must do also: 2#Acts 20:7On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper, that there be no collections when I come. 3And when I come, #2 Cor. 3:1; 8:18whomever you approve by your letters I will send to bear your gift to Jerusalem. 4#2 Cor. 8:4, 19But if it is fitting that I go also, they will go with me.
Personal Plans
5Now I will come to you #Acts 19:21; 2 Cor. 1:15, 16when I pass through Macedonia (for I am passing through Macedonia). 6And it may be that I will remain, or even spend the winter with you, that you may #Acts 15:3; Rom. 15:24; 1 Cor. 16:11send me on my journey, wherever I go. 7For I do not wish to see you now on the way; but I hope to stay a while with you, #Acts 18:21; James 4:15if the Lord permits.
8But I will tarry in Ephesus until #Lev. 23:15–22Pentecost. 9For #Acts 14:27; 2 Cor. 2:12; Col. 4:3a great and effective door has opened to me, and #Acts 19:9there are many adversaries.
10And #Acts 19:22; 2 Tim. 1:2if Timothy comes, see that he may be with you without fear; for #Phil. 2:20; 1 Thess. 3:2he does the work of the Lord, as I also do. 11#1 Tim. 4:12; Titus 2:15Therefore let no one despise him. But send him on his journey #Acts 15:33in peace, that he may come to me; for I am waiting for him with the brethren.
12Now concerning our brother #Acts 18:24; 1 Cor. 1:12; 3:5Apollos, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brethren, but he was quite unwilling to come at this time; however, he will come when he has a convenient time.
Final Exhortations
13#Matt. 24:42Watch, #1 Cor. 15:1; Gal. 5:1; Phil. 1:27; 4:1; 1 Thess. 3:8; 2 Thess. 2:15stand fast in the faith, be brave, #(Ps. 31:24; Eph. 3:16; 6:10; Col. 1:11)be strong. 14#(1 Pet. 4:8)Let all that you do be done with love.
15I urge you, brethren—you know #1 Cor. 1:16the household of Stephanas, that it is #Rom. 16:5the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to #2 Cor. 8:4the ministry of the saints— 16#Eph. 5:21; 1 Thess. 5:12; Heb. 13:17that you also submit to such, and to everyone who works and #(Heb. 6:10)labors with us.
17I am glad about the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus, #2 Cor. 11:9; Phil. 2:30for what was lacking on your part they supplied. 18#Col. 4:8For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore #Phil. 2:29acknowledge such men.
Greetings and a Solemn Farewell
19The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you heartily in the Lord, #Rom. 16:5with the church that is in their house. 20All the brethren greet you.
#Rom. 16:16Greet one another with a holy kiss.
21#Rom. 16:22; Gal. 6:11; Col. 4:18; 2 Thess. 3:17; Philem. 19The salutation with my own hand—Paul’s.
22If anyone #Eph. 6:24does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, #Gal. 1:8, 9let him be accursed. #Jude 14, 15O Lord, come!
23#Rom. 16:20The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. 24My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
