ASV - I Corinthians - 16

16:1  Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I gave order to the churches of Galatia, so also do ye.

16:2  Upon the first day of the week let each one of you lay by him in store, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come.

16:3  And when I arrive, whomsoever ye shall approve, them will I send with letters to carry your bounty unto Jerusalem:

16:4  and if it be meet for me to go also, they shall go with me.

16:5  But I will come unto you, when I shall have passed through Macedonia; for I pass through Macedonia;

16:6  but with you it may be that I shall abide, or even winter, that ye may set me forward on my journey whithersoever I go.

16:7  For I do not wish to see you now by the way; for I hope to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.

16:8  But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost;

16:9  for a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.

16:10  Now if Timothy come, see that he be with you without fear; for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do:

16:11  let no man therefore despise him. But set him forward on his journey in peace, that he may come unto me: for I expect him with the brethren.

16:12  But as touching Apollos the brother, I besought him much to come unto you with the brethren: and it was not at all his will to come now; but he will come when he shall have opportunity.

16:13  Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

16:14  Let all that ye do be done in love.

16:15  Now I beseech you, brethren (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have set themselves to minister unto the saints),

16:16  that ye also be in subjection unto such, and to every one that helpeth in the work and laboreth.

16:17  And I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they supplied.

16:18  For they refreshed my spirit and yours: acknowledge ye therefore them that are such.

16:19  The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Prisca salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.

16:20  All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss.

16:21  The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.

16:22  If any man loveth not the Lord, let him be anathema. Maranatha.

16:23  The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

16:24  My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
