1 Corinthians 16

1 Of the gadderynge for the saynctes as I have ordeyned in the congregacios of Galacia even so do ye.

BUT concerning what is collected for the saints, as I have instructed the churches of Galatia, so also do you.

2 Vpon some sondaye let every one of you put a syde at home and laye vp what soever he thinketh mete that ther be no gaderinges when I come.

On each first day of the week let every one of you at his own house lay by and keep something of that which cometh unto his hands, lest when I come there be then collections.

3 When I am come whosoever ye shall alowe by youre letters them will I sende to bringe youre liberalite vnto Ierusalem.

And when I come, those whom you shall choose, them will I send with an epistle, that they may take your bounty to Urishlem.

4 And yf it be mete yt I goo they shall go with me.

But if it be a fit work that I too go (thither), they also shall go with me.

5 I will come vnto you after I have gone over Macedonia. For I will goo thorowout Macedonia.

But I will come to you when I shall have passed (round) from Makedunia: for I pass unto it, unto Makedunia.

6 With you paraveture I wyll abyde awhyle: or els winter that ye maye brynge me on my waye whyther soever I goo.

And perhaps also I may remain with you, or I may winter with you, that you may lead me on to the place to which I shall go.

7 I will not se you now in my passage: but I trust to abyde a whyle with you yf God shall suffre me.

For I will not now see you as I pass the way; for I hope to abide a time with you, if my Lord permit me.

8 I will tary at Ephesus untyll whit sontyde.

For I remain at Ephesos until the Pentecost.

9 For a greate dore and a frutefull is opened vnto me: and ther are many adversaries.

For a great door is opened to me, which is full of labours, and the opposers are many.

10 If Timotheus come se yt he be with out feare with you. For he worketh the worke of the Lorde as I doo.

But if Timotheos come among you, see that he may be with you without fear; for he doeth the work of the Lord, as I.

11 Let no man despyse him: but convaye him forthe in peace yt he maye come vnto me. For I loke for him with the brethre.

Wherefore let no man despise him, but conduct him in peace, that he may come to me; for I wait for him with the brethren.

12 To speake of brother Apollo: I greatly desyred him to come vnto you with ye brethren but his mynde was not at all to come at this tyme. How be it he will come when he shall have conveniet tyme.

But of Apolo, my brethren, I begged much to come to you with the brethren; nevertheless it was not his will to come to you; but when there shall be opportunity he will come to you.

13 Watche ye stonde fast in the fayth auyte you lyke men and be stronge.

WATCH, and stand in the faith; be manful and be strong.

14 Let all youre busynes be done in love.

And let all your affairs be done in love.

15 Brethren (ye knowe the housse of Stephana how yt they are the fyrst frutes of Achaia and that they have appoynted them selves to minister vnto the saynctes)

But I entreat of you, my brethren, for the house of Stephano, because you know they are the first-fruits of Akaia, and have disposed themselves for the service of the saints,

16 I beseche you yt ye be obedient vnto soche and to all that helpe and laboure.

that you be submissive to such as they, and to every one who laboureth with us and helpeth.

17 I am gladde of the comynge of Stephana Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lackinge on youre parte they have supplied.

But I am glad of the coming of Stephano, and of Fortunatos, and of Akaiakos, because your deficiency with me they have fulfilled.

18 They have comforted my sprete and youres. Loke therfore that ye knowe them that are soche.

For they have refreshed my spirit and yours. Wherefore acknowledge those who are such.

19 The congregacions of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you moche in the Lorde and so doeth the congregacio that is in their housse.

All the churches of Asia ask for your peace; Akilos and Priskila, with the church which is in their house, ask for your peace greatly in our Lord.

20 All the brethren grete you. Grete ye one another with an holy kysse.

All the brethren ask for your peace. Ask the peace of one another with the holy kiss.

21 The salutacion of me Paul with myne awne hande.

Peace, by the writing of my hand, of PAULOS.

22 Yf eny man love not the Lorde Iesus Christ the same be anathema maranatha.

Whosoever loveth not our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, let him be accursed. Our Lord cometh.

23 The grace of ye Lorde Iesus Christ be with you all.

The grace of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha be with you.

24 My love be with you all in Christ Iesu. Ame

And my love be with you all in the Meshiha Jeshu Amen.
