1 Corinthians 16

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

Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I directed the assemblies of Galatia, so do ye do also.

2 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.

On [the] first of [the] week let each of you put by at home, laying up [in] whatever [degree] he may have prospered, that there may be no collections when I come.

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

And when I am arrived, whomsoever ye shall approve, these I will send with letters to carry your bounty to Jerusalem:

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

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

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

But I will come to you when I shall have gone through Macedonia; for I do go through Macedonia.

6 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.

But perhaps I will stay with you, or even winter with you, that ye may set me forward wheresoever I may go.

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

For I will not see you now in passing, for I hope to remain a certain time with you, if the Lord permit.

8 But I will stay at Ephesus until Pentecost,

But I remain in Ephesus until Pentecost.

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

For a great door is opened to me and an effectual [one], and [the] adversaries many.

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

Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear; for he works the work of the Lord, even as I.

11 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.

Let not therefore any one despise him; but set him forward in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren.

12 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.

Now concerning the brother Apollos, I begged him much that he would go to you with the brethren; but it was not at all [his] will to go now; but he will come when he shall have good opportunity.

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

Be vigilant; stand fast in the faith; quit yourselves like men; be strong.

14 Let all that you do be done in love.

Let all things ye do be done in love.

15 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—

But I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruits of Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the saints for service, )

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

that ye should also be subject to such, and to every one joined in the work and labouring.

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

But I rejoice in the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus; because they have supplied what was lacking on your part.

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

For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: own therefore such.

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

The assemblies of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla, with the assembly in their house, salute you much in [the] Lord.

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

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

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

The salutation of [me] Paul with my own hand.

22 If any man doesn’t love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be cursed. Come, Lord!

If any one love not the Lord [Jesus Christ] let him be Anathema Maranatha.

23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you.

24 My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.

My love [be] with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
