161 Corinthians 16

1As to the collection for God's people, what I have directed the Churches of Galatia to do, you must do also.Select 1 Corinthians 16:1

2On the first day of every week let each of you put on one side and store up at his home whatever gain has been granted to him; so that whenever I come, there may then be no collections going on.Select 1 Corinthians 16:2

3And when I am with you, whatever brethren you accredit by letter I will send to carry your kind gift to Jerusalem.Select 1 Corinthians 16:3

4And if it is worth while for me also to make the journey, they shall go as my companions.Select 1 Corinthians 16:4

5I shall come to you after passing through Macedonia; for my plan will be to pass through Macedonia;Select 1 Corinthians 16:5

6and I shall make some stay with you perhaps, or even spend the winter with you, in order that you may help me forward, whichever way I travel.Select 1 Corinthians 16:6

7For I do not wish to see you on this occasion merely in passing; but if the Lord permits, I hope to remain some time with you.Select 1 Corinthians 16:7

8I shall remain in Ephesus, however, until the time of the Harvest Festival,Select 1 Corinthians 16:8

9for a wide door stands open before me which demands great efforts, and we have many opponents.Select 1 Corinthians 16:9

10If Timothy pays you a visit, see that he is free from fear in his relations with you; for he is engaged in the Master's work just as I am.Select 1 Corinthians 16:10

11Therefore let no one slight him, but all of you should help him forward in peace to join me; for I am waiting for him and others of the brethren.Select 1 Corinthians 16:11

12As for our brother Apollos, I have repeatedly urged him to accompany the brethren who are coming to you: but he is quite resolved not to do so at present. He will come, however, when he has a good opportunity.Select 1 Corinthians 16:12

13Be on the alert; stand firm in the faith; acquit yourselves like men; be strong.Select 1 Corinthians 16:13

14Let all that you do be done from motives of love.Select 1 Corinthians 16:14

15And I beseech you, brethren--you know the household of Stephanas, how they were the earliest Greek converts to Christ, and have devoted themselves to the service of God's people--Select 1 Corinthians 16:15

16I beseech you, on your part, to show deference to such men, and to every one who participates in their work and toils hard.Select 1 Corinthians 16:16

17It is a joy to me that Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus have now arrived, because what was wanting so far as you are concerned they have supplied.Select 1 Corinthians 16:17

18They have refreshed my spirit, and yours. Acknowledge such men as these.Select 1 Corinthians 16:18

19The Churches in the province of Asia send you greetings; and Aquila and Prisca, in hearty Christian love, do the same, together with the Church which meets at their house.Select 1 Corinthians 16:19

20The brethren all send greetings to you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.Select 1 Corinthians 16:20

21The final greeting of me--Paul--with my own hand.Select 1 Corinthians 16:21

22If any one is destitute of love to the Lord, let him be accursed. OUR LORD IS COMING.Select 1 Corinthians 16:22

23The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.Select 1 Corinthians 16:23

24My love in Christ Jesus be with you all.Select 1 Corinthians 16:24
