1 Corinthians 16

1 Now concerning the collection for the kadoshim, as I commanded the congregations of Galatia, you do likewise.

As it respects the collection which is for the saints, as I have given orders to the churches of Galatia, so also do you.

2 On the first day of the week, let each one of you save, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come.

On the first day of the week, let each of you lay by him, and treasure up as he has prospered, that there may be no collections when I come.

3 When I arrive, I will send whoever you approve with letters to carry your gracious gift to Jerusalem.

And when I come, whatever persons you approve, I will send with letters to carry your favor to Jerusalem.

4 If it is appropriate for me to go also, they will go with me.

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

5 But I will come to you when I have passed through Macedonia, for I am passing through Macedonia.

Now I will come to you, when I have passed through Macedonia, for I intend to go through Macedonia;

6 But with you it may be that I will stay, or even winter, that you may send me on my journey wherever I go.

and perhaps I may abide with you, or even spend the winter, that you may conduct me on my way to whatever place I may go.

7 For I do not wish to see you now in passing, but I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits.

For I do not wish to see you now in passing; for I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permit.

8 But I will stay at Ephesus until Shavu'ot,

But I will continue in Ephesus till Pentecost:

9 for a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

for a great and effective door is opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

10 Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear, for he does the work of the Lord, as I also do.

If Timothy come, see that he be with you without fear: for he works the work of the Lord, as I also do.

11 Therefore let no one despise him. But set him forward on his journey in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brothers.

Therefore, let no one despise him; but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come to me: for I look for him with the brethren.

12 Now concerning Apollos, the brother, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers; and it was not at all his desire to come now; but he will come when he has an opportunity.

As it respects Apollos my brother, I urged him much to go to you with the brethren, yet he was not at all inclined to go now; but he will go when he has a suitable time.

13 Watch. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong.

Be watchful, stand fast in the faith, be men, be resolute.

14 Let all that you do be done in love.

Let every thing be done by you in love.

15 Now I appeal to you, brothers (you know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have set themselves to serve the kadoshim),

I beseech you, brethren, (you know the house of Stephanas, that they are the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the ministry of the saints, )

16 that you also be in subjection to such, and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.

that you submit yourselves to such, and to every one that works and labors with us.

17 I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for that which was lacking on your part, they supplied.

I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus; for they have supplied what was wanting on your part:

18 For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge those who are like that.

for they have refreshed my spirit, and yours. There fore, acknowledge such.

19 The congregations of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you much in the Lord, together with the congregation that is in their house.

The churches of Asia salute you: Aquila and Priscilla, with the church that is in their house, send you many salutations in the Lord.

20 All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

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

21 This greeting is by me, Paul, with my own hand.

The salutation of me, Paul, with my own hand.

22 If anyone does not love the Lord, a curse be on him. Our Lord, come.

If any one loves not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. The Lord comes.

23 The grace of the Lord Yeshua be with you.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

24 My love to all of you in Messiah Yeshua.

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