1 Corinthians 16

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

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

2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God has prospered him, that there be no gatherings 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 And when I come, whomsoever all of you shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.

And when I am arrived, whomsoever ye shall approve, these I will send with 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 suitable that I also should go, they shall go with me.

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

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

6 And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that all of you may bring me on my journey anywhere 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 will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.

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 tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.

But I remain in Ephesus until Pentecost.

9 For a great door and effectual is opened unto 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 Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he works 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 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 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 As concerning 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.

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 all of you, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

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

14 Let all your things be done with love. (agape)

Let all things ye do be done in love.

15 I plead to (all of you know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of 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 all of you submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helps with us, and labours.

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

17 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have 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 have refreshed my spirit (pneuma) and your's: therefore acknowledge all of you them that are such.

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

19 The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church 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 brethren greet you. Greet all of you one another with an holy kiss.

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

21 The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.

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

22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.

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

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

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

24 My love (agape) be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

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