Προς Κορινθιους Α΄ 16

1 περι δε της λογιας της εις τους αγιους ωσπερ διεταξα ταις εκκλησιαις της γαλατιας ουτως και υμεις ποιησατε

Now, concerning the collection which is for the saints, just as I directed the assemblies of Galatia, so, also do, ye: —

2 κατα μιαν σαββατων εκαστος υμων παρ εαυτω τιθετω θησαυριζων ο τι αν ευοδωται ινα μη οταν ελθω τοτε λογιαι γινωνται

Upon the first of the week, let, each one of you, put, by itself, in store, as he may be prospering, —lest, as soon as I come, then, collections, should be in progress.

3 οταν δε παραγενωμαι ους εαν δοκιμασητε δι επιστολων τουτους πεμψω απενεγκειν την χαριν υμων εις ιερουσαλημ

And, as soon as I arrive, whomsoever ye shall approve by letters, these, will I send, to bear away your favour unto Jerusalem:

4 εαν δε η αξιον του καμε πορευεσθαι συν εμοι πορευσονται

And, if it be meet that, I also, be journeying, with me, shall they journey.

5 ελευσομαι δε προς υμας οταν μακεδονιαν διελθω μακεδονιαν γαρ διερχομαι

Now I will come unto you, as soon as I have passed through Macedonia, —for I do pass through Macedonia,

6 προς υμας δε τυχον παραμενω η και παραχειμασω ινα υμεις με προπεμψητε ου εαν πορευωμαι

And, with you, I may perhaps sojourn, or winter, that, ye, may set me forward, whithersoever I may be journeying.

7 ου θελω γαρ υμας αρτι εν παροδω ιδειν ελπιζω δε χρονον τινα επιμειναι προς υμας εαν ο κυριος επιτρεπη

For I do not wish to see you, just now, by the way; for I hope to remain, some time, with you, —if, the Lord, permit.

8 επιμενω δε εν εφεσω εως της πεντηκοστης

But I remain in Ephesus, until the Pentecost,

9 θυρα γαρ μοι ανεωγεν μεγαλη και ενεργης και αντικειμενοι πολλοι

For, a door, unto me, hath opened, great and effectual, and, opposers, are many.

10 εαν δε ελθη τιμοθεος βλεπετε ινα αφοβως γενηται προς υμας το γαρ εργον κυριου εργαζεται ως και εγω

But, if Timothy should come, see that, without fear, he be with you, for, in the work of the Lord, doth he labour, even as, I:

11 μη τις ουν αυτον εξουθενηση προπεμψατε δε αυτον εν ειρηνη ινα ελθη προς με εκδεχομαι γαρ αυτον μετα των αδελφων

Let no one then despise him; and set ye him forward in peace, that he may come unto me, for I expect him with the brethren.

12 περι δε απολλω του αδελφου πολλα παρεκαλεσα αυτον ινα ελθη προς υμας μετα των αδελφων και παντως ουκ ην θελημα ινα νυν ελθη ελευσεται δε οταν ευκαιρηση

But, concerning Apollos the brother, much, did I beseech him, that he would come unto you, with the brethren, but there was, by no means, any will, that he should come, now; —he will come, however, as soon as he hath good opportunity.

13 γρηγορειτε στηκετε εν τη πιστει ανδριζεσθε κραταιουσθε

Be on the watch, stand firm in the faith, be men—be strong;

14 παντα υμων εν αγαπη γινεσθω

Let, all your affairs, in love, be carried on.

15 παρακαλω δε υμας αδελφοι οιδατε την οικιαν στεφανα οτι εστιν απαρχη της αχαιας και εις διακονιαν τοις αγιοις εταξαν εαυτους

Now I beseech you, brethren, —ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is a first-fruit of Achaia, and, for the purpose of ministering, they devoted themselves, unto the saints—

16 ινα και υμεις υποτασσησθε τοις τοιουτοις και παντι τω συνεργουντι και κοπιωντι

That, ye also, be submitting yourselves unto such as these, —and unto everyone helping in the work and toiling.

17 χαιρω δε επι τη παρουσια στεφανα και φουρτουνατου και αχαικου οτι το υμων υστερημα ουτοι ανεπληρωσαν

I Rejoice, moreover, in the presence of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus: because, your own shortcoming, these, have filled up: —

18 ανεπαυσαν γαρ το εμον πνευμα και το υμων επιγινωσκετε ουν τους τοιουτους

They have given rest, in fact, unto my spirit, and yours: hold in acknowledgment, therefore, such as these.

19 ασπαζονται υμας αι εκκλησιαι της ασιας ασπαζονται υμας εν κυριω πολλα ακυλας και πρισκιλλα συν τη κατ οικον αυτων εκκλησια

The assemblies of Asia salute you: Aquila and Priscilla, with the assembly meeting at their house, salute you much in the Lord:

20 ασπαζονται υμας οι αδελφοι παντες ασπασασθε αλληλους εν φιληματι αγιω

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

21 ο ασπασμος τη εμη χειρι παυλου

The salutation of Paul—with my own hand.

22 ει τις ου φιλει τον κυριον ιησουν χριστον ητω αναθεμα μαραν αθα

If anyone doth not dearly love the Lord, let him be anathema [that is, "accursed"]: Maran atha [that is, "The Lord, cometh"].

23 η χαρις του κυριου ιησου χριστου μεθ υμων

The favour of the Lord Jesus, be with you.

24 η αγαπη μου μετα παντων υμων εν χριστω ιησου αμην

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