1 Corinthians 16

1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the assemblies of Galatia, even so do ye.

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

2 Upon one of the weeks let every one of you lay by him in store, as YHWH hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.

Upon the first day of the week let every one of you set apart something, putting it into the treasury, according as he is prospered: that there may be no need of collections, when I come.

3 And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.

And when I am with you, whomsoever ye shall approve, I will send, with your letters, to carry your bounty to Jerusalem.

4 And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.

And if it be requisite for me to go also, they shall go with me.

5 Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.

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

6 And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go.

And perhaps I shall stay a while, or even pass the winter with you; that ye may forward me on my journey, whithersoever I go.

7 For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if YHWH permit.

For I do not intend to see you now in my way, as I hope to stay some time with you, if the Lord permit.

8 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.

But I shall stay at Ephesus till Pentecost. For a great and effectual door is opened to me,

9 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.

though there are many opposers.

10 Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he worketh the work of YHWH, as I also do.

If Timothy should come, see that he be with you without fear: for he is employed in the work of the Lord, as I also am.

11 Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come unto me: for I look for him with the brethren.

Let no one therefore despise him: but forward him on his journey in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren. As to our brother Apollos,

12 As touching our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come unto you with the brethren: but his will was not at all to come at this time; but he will come when he shall have convenient time.

I much importuned him to come to you with the brethren: but he was not at all willing to come now; though he will come when he has a favorable opportunity.

13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

Be watchful, stand fast in the faith, behave like men, be strong:

14 Let all your things be done with love.

and let all your affairs be carried on in love.

15 I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints, )

I beseech you, brethren, (for ye know the family of Stephanas, that they are the first-fruits of Achaia, and

16 That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth.

have set themselves to minister to the saints) that you also would be subservient to such, and to every one that worketh and laboureth with us.

17 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.

I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus: for what was wanting in you, they have made up.

18 For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.

For they have refreshed my spirit as well as yours: have a due regard therefore to such worthy persons.

19 The assemblies of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Master, with the assembly that is in their house.

The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla, with the church in their house, salute you in the Lord with much affection:

20 All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.

yea all the brethren salute you. Salute one another with an holy kiss.

21 The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.

The salutation of me Paul I write with my own hand.

22 If any man love not the Master Yahushua the Messiah, let him be a curse. Maranatha!

If any one love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be made a curse.

23 The favour of our Master Yahushua the Messiah be with you.

Maran-atha. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

24 My love be with you all in the Messiah Yahushua.

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