I Corinthians 16

I Corinthians 16:1. And concerning the collection that [is] for the saints, as I directed to the assemblies of Galatia, so also ye--do ye;

I Corinthians 16:2 on every first [day] of the week, let each one of you lay by him, treasuring up whatever he may have prospered, that when I may come then collections may not be made;

I Corinthians 16:3 and whenever I may come, whomsoever ye may approve, through letters, these I will send to carry your favour to Jerusalem;

I Corinthians 16:4 and if it be meet for me also to go, with me they shall go.

I Corinthians 16:5. And I will come unto you, when I pass through Macedonia--for Macedonia I do pass through--

I Corinthians 16:6 and with you, it may be, I will abide, or even winter, that ye may send me forward whithersoever I go,

I Corinthians 16:7 for I do not wish to see you now in the passing, but I hope to remain a certain time with you, if the Lord may permit;

I Corinthians 16:8 and I will remain in Ephesus till the Pentecost,

I Corinthians 16:9 for a door to me hath been opened--great and effectual--and withstanders [are] many.

I Corinthians 16:10. And if Timotheus may come, see that he may become without fear with you, for the work of the Lord he doth work, even as I,

I Corinthians 16:11 no one, then, may despise him; and send ye him forward in peace, that he may come to me, for I expect him with the brethren;

I Corinthians 16:12 and concerning Apollos our brother, much I did entreat him that he may come unto you with the brethren, and it was not at all [his] will that he may come now, and he will come when he may find convenient.

I Corinthians 16:13. Watch ye, stand in the faith; be men, be strong;

I Corinthians 16:14 let all your things be done in love.

I Corinthians 16:15 And I entreat you, brethren, ye have known the household of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruit of Achaia, and to the ministration to the saints they did set themselves--

I Corinthians 16:16 that ye also be subject to such, and to every one who is working with [us] and labouring;

I Corinthians 16:17 and I rejoice over the presence of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, because the lack of you did these fill up;

I Corinthians 16:18 for they did refresh my spirit and yours; acknowledge ye, therefore, those who [are] such.

I Corinthians 16:19. Salute you do the assemblies of Asia; salute you much in the Lord do Aquilas and Priscilla, with the assembly in their house;

I Corinthians 16:20 salute you do all the brethren; salute ye one another in an holy kiss.

I Corinthians 16:21 The salutation of [me] Paul with my hand;


I Corinthians 16:22 if any one doth not love the Lord Jesus Christ--let him be anathema! The Lord hath come!

I Corinthians 16:23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ [is] with you;

I Corinthians 16:24 my love [is] with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
