1 Corinthians 16
1 Now concerning the collection for the kadoshim, as I commanded the congregations of Galatia, you do likewise.
NOW concerning the collection which is for the saints, as I have given an order to the churches of Galatia, so also do ye.
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 every one of you set apart with himself, treasuring it up, whatsoever he may please to give, that when I come there may be then no gatherings.
3 When I arrive, I will send whoever you approve with letters to carry your gracious gift to Jerusalem.
But when I come, whosoever you shall approve by letters, those will I send to carry your charity to Jerusalem.
4 If it is appropriate for me to go also, they will go with me.
But if it be of importance that I should go also, 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 unto you when I have passed through Macedonia (for I am passing 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 shall abide with you, yea and winter with you, that you may send me forward whithersoever I 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 will not see you now in passing, but I hope to remain some considerable time with you if the Lord permit.
8 But I will stay at Ephesus until Shavu'ot,
But I shall abide at Ephesus until the Pentecost:
9 for a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
for there is opened to me a great door, and effectual, 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.
But if Timothy come, see that he may be among you without fear: for he worketh the Lord’s work, 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.
Let no man therefore treat him with disrespect; but forward him on his way in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect 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 concerning brother Apollos, I besought him much that he would come to you with the brethren; but it was not at all his wish to come at this time: but he will come when he can find a good opportunity.
13 Watch. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong.
Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, be manful, be strong.
14 Let all that you do be done in love.
Let all your concerns be transacted 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),
Now I exhort you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and 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.
wherefore submit yourselves to such, and to every one that worketh with us and laboureth.
17 I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for that which was lacking on your part, they supplied.
I rejoice in the arrival of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus; because what was lacking from you, they have supplied.
18 For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge those who are like that.
For they have refreshed my spirit and yours; respect therefore such men.
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 salute you much in the Lord, with the church which is in their house.
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 Paul with mine own hand.
22 If anyone does not love the Lord, a curse be on him. Our Lord, come.
If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema, Maranatha.
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. The first epistle to the Corinthians was written from Philippi by Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, and Timothy.
