1 Corinthians 16

The Contribution for the Saints
1#Ac 24:17; 16:6Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given instruction to the churches of Galatia, so even you must do. 2#Ac 20:7; Rev 1:10; Lk 24:1On the first day of the week let every one of you lay in store, as God has prospered him, so that no collections be made when I come. 3And when I come, I will send whomever you approve with your letters to take your generous gifts to Jerusalem. 4If it is fitting that I go also, they will go with me.
Paul’s Plans for Travel
5#Ac 19:21; 1Co 4:19Now I will come to you after I pass through Macedonia. For I will pass through Macedonia. 6#Ac 15:3; Ro 15:24It may be that I will remain, of course, and spend the winter with you, that you may send me on my journey wherever I go. 7#Ac 18:21; 1Co 4:19For I do not wish to see you now in passing. Instead, I trust to remain a while with you, if the Lord permits. 8#Ac 2:1But I will remain at Ephesus until Pentecost. 9#Ac 14:27For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
10#1Co 15:58; 4:17Now if Timothy comes, see that he may remain with you without fear, for he does the work of the Lord, as I also do. 11#Ac 15:33; 1Ti 4:12Therefore let no one despise him. But send him on his way in peace, that he may come to me. I am expecting him with the brothers.
12#1Co 1:12; 3:5As for our brother Apollos, I greatly wanted him to come to you with the brothers. But he was not willing at all to come at this time. However, he will come when he has a convenient time.
13#Gal 5:1; Eph 6:10Watch, stand fast in the faith, be bold like men, and be strong. 14Let all that you do be done with love.
15#Ro 16:5; 1Co 1:16You know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the ministry of the saints. So I ask you, brothers, 16#Heb 13:17; 1Th 5:12that you submit yourselves to such people, and to everyone who helps and labors with us. 17#2Co 11:9; Php 2:30I am happy about the arrival of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus, for they supplied what was lacking on your part. 18#2Co 7:13; 1Th 5:12They have refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge these men.
Final Request and Greetings
19#Ac 18:2The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you heartily in the Lord, with the church that is in their house. 20#Ro 16:16All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
21#Gal 6:11; Col 4:18I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand.
22#Ro 9:3; Jn 14:21If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. Come, O Lord!
23#Ro 16:20The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
24My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

1Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. 2Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come. 3And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem. 4And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.
5Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia. 6And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go. 7For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit. 8But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost. 9For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.
10Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do. 11Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come unto me: for I look for him with the brethren.
12As touching our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come unto you with the brethren: but his will was not at all to come at this time; but he will come when he shall have convenient time.
13Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. 14Let all your things be done with charity.
15I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,) 16that ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth. 17I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied. 18For they have refreshed my spirit and your's: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.
19The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house. 20All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.
21The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand. 22If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maran-atha. 23The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. 24My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
The first epistle to the Corinthians was written from Philippi by Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, and Timotheus.
