RKJNT - I Corinthians - 16

16:1  Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have directed the churches of Galatia, so you do also.

16:2  Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay aside and save something, as he has prospered, that there need be no collections when I come.

16:3  And when I come, whomever you shall approve I will send with letters, to take your gift to Jerusalem.

16:4  And if it seems fitting that I go also, they shall go with me.

16:5  Now I will come to you, after I pass through Macedonia: for I intend to pass through Macedonia;

16:6  And it may be that I will stay with you a while, or even spend the winter, that you may speed me on my journey, wherever I go.

16:7  For I do not want to see you now just in passing; but I hope to stay some time with you, if the Lord permits.

16:8  But I will stay at Ephesus until Pentecost,

16:9  For a wide door for effectual work has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

16:10  Now if Timothy comes, see that he has no cause for fear while he is with you: for he is doing the work of the Lord, as I am.

16:11  Therefore, let no man despise him: but send him forth in peace, that he may come to me: for I am expecting him with the brethren.

16:12  Regarding our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to go to you with the brethren: but it was not at all his desire to go at this time; but he will come when he has the opportunity.

16:13  Be watchful, stand fast in the faith, act like men, be strong.

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

16:15  I urge you, brethren, (you know that those of the house of Stephanas were the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to serving the saints,)

16:16  That you submit yourselves to such as these, and to everyone who helps in the work, and labours earnestly.

16:17  I am glad that Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus have come: for that which was lacking from you they have supplied.

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

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

16:20  All the brethren greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

16:21  I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand.

16:22  If any man does not love the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord, come.

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

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