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 ordered the congregations of Galatia, so also so 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 say of the week, let each of you lay somewhat by itself, according as he may have prospered, putting it into the treasury; that when I come, there may be then no collection.

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

And when I come, whomsoever you shall approve by letters, them I will send to carry your gift to Jerusalem.

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

Or, if it be proper that even I 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 do pass 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, and even winter with you, that you may send me forward, whithersoever 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 will not now see you in passing; but I hope to remain with you sometime, if the Lord permit.

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

However, I shall remain at Ephesus till Pentecost.

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

For a great and effectual door is opened to me, yet there are many opposers.

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.

Now, if Timothy be come, take care that he be among you without fear; for he works, even as I do, the work of the Lord.

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.

Wherefore, let no one despise him; but send him forward 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.

And with relation to our brother Apollos, I entreated him much to go to you with the brethren; but his inclination was not at all to go now, but he will go when he shall find a convenient season.

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

Watch; stand fast in the faith; acquit yourselves like men; be strong.

14 Let all that you do be done in love.

Let all things be done with 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),

You know the family of Stephanus, that it is the first fruit 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.

I entreat you, therefore, brethren, that you submit yourselves to such, and to every joint worker and laborer.

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

I am glad of the coming of Stephanus, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for they have supplied your deficiency,

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

and have refreshed my spirit and yours; wherefore, acknowledge such persons.

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 congregations of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the congregation 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 my own hand.

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

If any one love not the Lord Jesus Christ, he shall be accursed when the Lord comes.

23 The grace of the Lord Yeshua be with you.

The favor 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.
