< 1 Corinthians 16 >
1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, you must do just as I instructed the congregations in Galatia.
περι δε της λογιας της εις τους αγιους ωσπερ διεταξα ταις εκκλησιαις της γαλατιας ουτως και υμεις ποιησατε
2 On the first day of the week, each of you should set something aside, saving up as he is being prospered, that there be no collections when I come.
κατα μιαν σαββατων εκαστος υμων παρ εαυτω τιθετω θησαυριζων ο τι αν ευοδωται ινα μη οταν ελθω τοτε λογιαι γινωνται
3 And when I arrive, I will send whomever you approve by letters to carry your gift to Jerusalem.
οταν δε παραγενωμαι ους εαν δοκιμασητε δι επιστολων τουτους πεμψω απενεγκειν την χαριν υμων εις ιερουσαλημ
4 But should it be fitting that I go as well, they will go with me.
εαν δε η αξιον του καμε πορευεσθαι συν εμοι πορευσονται
5 Now I will come to you when I pass through Macedonia (for I am coming through Macedonia).
ελευσομαι δε προς υμας οταν μακεδονιαν διελθω μακεδονιαν γαρ διερχομαι
6 And perhaps I will stay with you awhile, or even winter, that you may send me on my way, wherever I go.
προς υμας δε τυχον παραμενω η και παραχειμασω ινα υμεις με προπεμψητε ου εαν πορευωμαι
7 I do not wish to see you now just in passing, since I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.
ου θελω γαρ υμας αρτι εν παροδω ιδειν ελπιζω δε χρονον τινα επιμειναι προς υμας εαν ο κυριος επιτρεπη
8 So I will remain in Ephesus until Pentecost,
επιμενω δε εν εφεσω εως της πεντηκοστης
9 because a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
θυρα γαρ μοι ανεωγεν μεγαλη και ενεργης και αντικειμενοι πολλοι
10 Now if Timothy should come, see to it that he may be with you without fear, because he does the Lord's work just as I do.
εαν δε ελθη τιμοθεος βλεπετε ινα αφοβως γενηται προς υμας το γαρ εργον κυριου εργαζεται ως και εγω
11 Therefore no one should despise him; but send him on his way in peace, that he may come to me; I am expecting him along with the brothers.
μη τις ουν αυτον εξουθενηση προπεμψατε δε αυτον εν ειρηνη ινα ελθη προς με εκδεχομαι γαρ αυτον μετα των αδελφων
12 Now about brother Apollos: I repeatedly urged him to go to you with the brothers, but he just did not want to go at this time; he will go whenever he has an opportunity.
περι δε απολλω του αδελφου πολλα παρεκαλεσα αυτον ινα ελθη προς υμας μετα των αδελφων και παντως ουκ ην θελημα ινα νυν ελθη ελευσεται δε οταν ευκαιρηση
13 Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!
γρηγορειτε στηκετε εν τη πιστει ανδριζεσθε κραταιουσθε
14 Do all you do in love.
παντα υμων εν αγαπη γινεσθω
15 Now brothers, you know that the household of Stephanas is the firstfruits of Achaia and that they have really devoted themselves to ministering to the saints,
παρακαλω δε υμας αδελφοι οιδατε την οικιαν στεφανα οτι εστιν απαρχη της αχαιας και εις διακονιαν τοις αγιοις εταξαν εαυτους
16 so I urge you to submit to such people, to all the fellow-workers and laborers.
ινα και υμεις υποτασσησθε τοις τοιουτοις και παντι τω συνεργουντι και κοπιωντι
17 I am glad about the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus, for what was lacking on your part they have supplied;
χαιρω δε επι τη παρουσια στεφανα και φουρτουνατου και αχαικου οτι το υμων υστερημα ουτοι ανεπληρωσαν
18 for they refreshed my spirit and yours; so give recognition to such men.
ανεπαυσαν γαρ το εμον πνευμα και το υμων επιγινωσκετε ουν τους τοιουτους
19 The congregations of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla, with the congregation in their house, greet you warmly in the Lord.
ασπαζονται υμας αι εκκλησιαι της ασιας ασπαζονται υμας εν κυριω πολλα ακυλας και πρισκιλλα συν τη κατ οικον αυτων εκκλησια
20 All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
ασπαζονται υμας οι αδελφοι παντες ασπασασθε αλληλους εν φιληματι αγιω
21 I, Paul, personally sign this greeting.
ο ασπασμος τη εμη χειρι παυλου
22 If anyone does not love our Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. The Lord is coming!
ει τις ου φιλει τον κυριον ιησουν χριστον ητω αναθεμα μαραν αθα
23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
η χαρις του κυριου ιησου χριστου μεθ υμων
24 My love is with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
η αγαπη μου μετα παντων υμων εν χριστω ιησου αμην
