LO - I Corinthians - 16

16:1  Now, concerning the collection, which is for the saints; as I ordered the congregations of Galatia, so also so you.

16:2  On the first say of the week, let each of you lay somewhat by itself, according as he may have prospered, putting it into the treasury; that when I come, there may be then no collection.

16:3  And when I come, whomsoever you shall approve by letters, them I will send to carry your gift to Jerusalem.

16:4  Or, if it be proper that even I should go, they shall go with me.

16:5  Now, I will come to you, when I have passed through Macedonia, (for I do pass through Macedonia;)

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

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

16:8  However, I shall remain at Ephesus till Pentecost.

16:9  For a great and effectual door is opened to me, yet there are many opposers.

16:10  Now, if Timothy be come, take care that he be among you without fear; for he works, even as I do, the work of the Lord.

16:11  Wherefore, let no one despise him; but send him forward in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren.

16:12  And with relation to our brother Apollos, I entreated him much to go to you with the brethren; but his inclination was not at all to go now, but he will go when he shall find a convenient season.

16:13  Watch; stand fast in the faith; acquit yourselves like men; be strong.

16:14  Let all things be done with love.

16:15  You know the family of Stephanus, that it is the first fruit of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the ministry of the saints.

16:16  I entreat you, therefore, brethren, that you submit yourselves to such, and to every joint worker and laborer.

16:17  I am glad of the coming of Stephanus, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for they have supplied your deficiency,

16:18  and have refreshed my spirit and yours; wherefore, acknowledge such persons.

16:19  The congregations of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the congregation 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 my own hand.

16:22  If any one love not the Lord Jesus Christ, he shall be accursed when the Lord comes.

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

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