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 commanded the assemblies of Galatia, you do likewise. 2On the first day of every week, let each one of you save as he may prosper, that no collections are made when I come. 3When I arrive, I will send whoever you approve with letters to carry your gracious gift to Jerusalem. 4If it is appropriate for me to go also, they will go with me.
5I will come to you when I have passed through Macedonia, for I am passing through Macedonia. 6But with you it may be that I will stay with you, or even winter with you, that you may send me on my journey wherever I go. 7For I do not wish to see you now in passing, but I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits. 8But I will stay at Ephesus until Pentecost, 9for a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
10Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear, for he does the work of the Lord, as I also do. 11Therefore let no one despise him. But set him forward on his journey in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brothers.
12Now concerning Apollos the brother, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers, but it was not at all his desire to come now; but he will come when he has an opportunity.
13Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong! 14Let all that you do be done in love.
15Now I beg you, brothers—you know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have set themselves to serve the saints— 16that you also be in subjection to such, and to everyone who helps in the work and labors. 17I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for that which was lacking on your part, they supplied. 18For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge those who are like that.
19The assemblies of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you warmly in the Lord, together with the assembly that is in their house. 20All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
21This greeting is by me, Paul, with my own hand. 22If any man doesn’t love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be cursed.#16:22 Greek: anathema. Come, Lord!#16:22 Aramaic: Maranatha! 23The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. 24My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
