Haweis - I Corinthians - 16

16:1  NOW concerning the collection which is for the saints, as I have given an order to the churches of Galatia, so also do ye.

16:2  On the first day of the week let every one of you set apart with himself, treasuring it up, whatsoever he may please to give, that when I come there may be then no gatherings.

16:3  But when I come, whosoever you shall approve by letters, those will I send to carry your charity to Jerusalem.

16:4  But if it be of importance that I should go also, they shall go with me.

16:5  Now I will come unto you when I have passed through Macedonia (for I am passing through Macedonia);

16:6  and perhaps I shall abide with you, yea and winter with you, that you may send me forward whithersoever I go.

16:7  For I will not see you now in passing, but I hope to remain some considerable time with you if the Lord permit.

16:8  But I shall abide at Ephesus until the Pentecost:

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

16:10  But if Timothy come, see that he may be among you without fear: for he worketh the Lord’s work, as I also do.

16:11  Let no man therefore treat him with disrespect; but forward him on his way in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren.

16:12  As concerning brother Apollos, I besought him much that he would come to you with the brethren; but it was not at all his wish to come at this time: but he will come when he can find a good opportunity.

16:13  Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, be manful, be strong.

16:14  Let all your concerns be transacted in love.

16:15  Now I exhort you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the ministry of the saints:)

16:16  wherefore submit yourselves to such, and to every one that worketh with us and laboureth.

16:17  I rejoice in the arrival of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus; because what was lacking from you, they have supplied.

16:18  For they have refreshed my spirit and yours; respect therefore such men.

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

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

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

16:22  If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema, Maranatha.

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

16:24  My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen. The first epistle to the Corinthians was written from Philippi by Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, and Timothy. \p
