1 Corinthians 16 NOW concerning the collection for the saints, as I gave order to the churches of Galatia, so also do ye.

ABU⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ NOW concerning the collection for the saints, as I gave order to the churches of Galatia, so also do ye. ² On each first day of the week, let every one of you lay by him in store, according as he is prospered, that there may be no collections when I come. ³ And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve, them I will send with letters to carry your benefaction to Jerusalem. ⁴ And if it be worthy of my going also, they shall go with me. ⁵ And I will come to you, when I shall pass through Macedonia. For I pass through Macedonia; ⁶ and it may be that I will remain, or even pass the winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go. ⁷ For I wish not to see you now, in passing; for I hope to remain some time with you, if the Lord permit. ⁸ But I shall remain at Ephesus until the Pentecost. ⁹ For a great and effectual door is open to me, and there are many adversaries. ¹⁰ Now if Timothy come, see that he may be with you without fear; for he works the work of the Lord, as I also do. ¹¹ Let no one therefore despise him; but send him forward in peace, that he may come to me; for I look for him with the brethren. ¹² And concerning Apollos the brother, I besought him much to come to you with the brethren; and it was not at all his will to come at this time, but he will come when he shall have a convenient time. ¹³ Watch, stand fast in the faith, acquit you like men, be strong. ¹⁴ Let all your acts be done in love. ¹⁵ And I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they devoted themselves to the service of the saints,) ¹⁶ that ye also submit yourselves to such, and to every one that works with us, and labors. ¹⁷ I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus; for what was lacking on your part they supplied. ¹⁸ For they refreshed my spirit and yours; therefore acknowledge those who are such. ¹⁹ The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house. ²⁰ All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss. ²¹ The salutation of me, Paul, with my own hand. ²² If any one loves not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. Maran atha! ²³ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. ²⁴ My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
