1 Corinthians 16

1 Of the gadderynge for the saynctes as I have ordeyned in the congregacios of Galacia even so do ye.

Now concerning the collection for the saints: as I commanded the assemblies of Galatia, you do likewise.

2 Vpon some sondaye let every one of you put a syde at home and laye vp what soever he thinketh mete that ther be no gaderinges when I come.

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

3 When I am come whosoever ye shall alowe by youre letters them will I sende to bringe youre liberalite vnto Ierusalem.

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

4 And yf it be mete yt I goo they shall go with me.

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

5 I will come vnto you after I have gone over Macedonia. For I will goo thorowout Macedonia.

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

6 With you paraveture I wyll abyde awhyle: or els winter that ye maye brynge me on my waye whyther soever I goo.

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

7 I will not se you now in my passage: but I trust to abyde a whyle with you yf God shall suffre 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 I will tary at Ephesus untyll whit sontyde.

But I will stay at Ephesus until Pentecost,

9 For a greate dore and a frutefull is opened vnto me: and ther are many adversaries.

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

10 If Timotheus come se yt he be with out feare with you. For he worketh the worke of the Lorde as I doo.

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 Let no man despyse him: but convaye him forthe in peace yt he maye come vnto me. For I loke for him with the brethre.

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 To speake of brother Apollo: I greatly desyred him to come vnto you with ye brethren but his mynde was not at all to come at this tyme. How be it he will come when he shall have conveniet tyme.

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

13 Watche ye stonde fast in the fayth auyte you lyke men and be stronge.

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

14 Let all youre busynes be done in love.

Let all that you do be done in love.

15 Brethren (ye knowe the housse of Stephana how yt they are the fyrst frutes of Achaia and that they have appoynted them selves to minister vnto the saynctes)

Now I beg 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 saints—

16 I beseche you yt ye be obedient vnto soche and to all that helpe and laboure.

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

17 I am gladde of the comynge of Stephana Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lackinge on youre parte they have supplied.

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

18 They have comforted my sprete and youres. Loke therfore that ye knowe them that are soche.

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

19 The congregacions of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you moche in the Lorde and so doeth the congregacio that is in their housse.

The assemblies of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you warmly in the Lord, together with the assembly that is in their house.

20 All the brethren grete you. Grete ye one another with an holy kysse.

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