1 Corinthians 16

1 And as to the collection for the saints, as I directed the churches of the Galatians, so do ye.

Now concerning the collection for the kadoshim, as I commanded the congregations of Galatia, you do likewise.

2 On each first day of the week, let every one of you lay aside and preserve at home, what he is able; that there may be no collections when I come.

On the first day of the week, let each one of you save, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come.

3 And when I come, those whom ye shall select, I will send with a letter, to carry your bounty to Jerusalem.

When I arrive, I will send whoever you approve with letters to carry your gracious gift to Jerusalem.

4 And if it should be suitable that I also go, they shall go with me.

If it is appropriate for me to go also, they will go with me.

5 And I will come to you, when I pass from Macedonia; for I am about to pass through Macedonia.

But I will come to you when I have passed through Macedonia, for I am passing through Macedonia.

6 And perhaps I shall remain with you, or winter with you; that ye may accompany me whither I go.

But with you it may be that I will stay, or even winter, that you may send me on my journey wherever I go.

7 For I am not disposed to see you now, as I pass along; because I hope to spend some time with you, if my Lord permit me.

For I do not wish to see you now in passing, but I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits.

8 For I shall continue at Ephesus until Pentecost:

But I will stay at Ephesus until Shavu'ot,

9 because a great door is opened to me, which is full of occupations; and the opposers are numerous.

for a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

10 And if Timothy come to you, see that he may be without fear among you; for he doeth the work of the Lord, as I do.

Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear, for he does the work of the Lord, as I also do.

11 Therefore, let no one despise him; but conduct him on in peace, that he may come to me; for I wait for him with the brethren.

Therefore let no one despise him. But set him forward on his journey in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brothers.

12 As for Apollos, my brethren, I entreated him much to go with the brethren to you; but his inclination was not to go to you now; but when he shall have opportunity, he will go to you.

Now concerning Apollos, the brother, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers; and it was not at all his desire to come now; but he will come when he has an opportunity.

13 Watch ye, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be valiant.

Watch. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong.

14 Let all your affairs be conducted with love.

Let all that you do be done in love.

15 I beseech you, my brethren, concerning the household of Stephanas; (for ye know, that they were the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to ministering to the saints; )

Now I appeal to you, brothers (you know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have set themselves to serve the kadoshim),

16 that ye also give ear to them who are such; and to every one, that laboreth with us and aideth.

that you also be in subjection to such, and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.

17 And I rejoice at the arrival of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for they have supplied that wherein ye were deficient towards me.

I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for that which was lacking on your part, they supplied.

18 And they have refreshed my spirit, and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them who are such.

For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge those who are like that.

19 All the churches that are in Asia, salute you. Aquila and Priscilla, with the church in their house, salute you much in the Lord.

The congregations of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you much in the Lord, together with the congregation that is in their house.

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

All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

21 The salutation in the handwriting of myself, Paul.

This greeting is by me, Paul, with my own hand.

22 Whoever loveth not our Lord Jesus the Messiah, let him be accursed: our Lord cometh.

If anyone does not love the Lord, a curse be on him. Our Lord, come.

23 The grace of our Lord Jesus the Messiah be with you.

The grace of the Lord Yeshua be with you.

24 And my love be with you all, in the Messiah, Jesus. Amen.

My love to all of you in Messiah Yeshua.
