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; as I ordered the congregations of Galatia, so also so you.

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

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

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

4 εαν δε η αξιον του καμε πορευεσθαι συν εμοι πορευσονται

Or, if it be proper that even I should go, they shall go with me.

5 ελευσομαι δε προς υμας οταν μακεδονιαν διελθω μακεδονιαν γαρ διερχομαι

Now, I will come to you, when 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, perhaps, I shall abide, and even winter with you, that you may send me forward, whithersoever I may go.

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

For I will not now see you in passing; but I hope to remain with you sometime, if the Lord permit.

8 επιμενω δε εν εφεσω εως της πεντηκοστης

However, I shall remain at Ephesus till Pentecost.

9 θυρα γαρ μοι ανεωγεν μεγαλη και ενεργης και αντικειμενοι πολλοι

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

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

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

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 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

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 γρηγορειτε στηκετε εν τη πιστει ανδριζεσθε κραταιουσθε

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

14 παντα υμων εν αγαπη γινεσθω

Let all things be done with love.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The congregations of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the congregation which is in their house.

20 ασπαζονται υμας οι αδελφοι παντες ασπασασθε αλληλους εν φιληματι αγιω

All the brethren salute you. Salute 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 any one love not the Lord Jesus Christ, he shall be accursed when the Lord comes.

23 η χαρις του κυριου ιησου χριστου μεθ υμων

The favor of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

24 η αγαπη μου μετα παντων υμων εν χριστω ιησου αμην

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