1 Corinthians 16

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

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

2 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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

8 But I remain in Ephesus until Pentecost.

For I shall continue at Ephesus until Pentecost:

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

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

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

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.

11 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.

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.

12 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.

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.

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

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

14 Let all things ye do be done in love.

Let all your affairs be conducted with love.

15 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, )

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; )

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The salutation in the handwriting of myself, Paul.

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

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

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

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

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

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