1 Corinthians 16
16
1Now, concerning the maamadot (financial contributions) and the pishkeh (pushke) we are circulating throughout the kehillot for the benefit of the Yerushalayim Kedoshim, as I directed the kehillot of Galatia, so you do also.
2Every Yom Rishon#16:2 which begins Motzoei Shabbos by Biblical reckoning, each day being an evening and a morning of each week, each of you by himself make something farnumen (set aside), storing up according to his hakhnasah (income), so that collections need not be made when I come.
3And when I arrive, whomever you approve, these I will send with iggrot to carry your matanah to Yerushalayim.
4And if it is fitting for me also to go, they will go with me.
5And I will come to you whenever I pass through Macedonia, for I will be passing through Macedonia.
6Efsher (perhaps) I will stay with you, or even spend the choref (winter) that you may help me with a send-off wherever I may go.
7For I do not want to see you now in passing, for I have the tikvah to remain some time with you, im yirtzeh Hashem (G-d willing, permitting).
8But, I will remain on in Ephesus until Shavuos,#16:8 Lv 23:15-21; Dt 16:9-11
9For a delet (door) has opened, great and effective, for me, but there are many mitnaggedim (opponents).
10Now if Timotiyos comes, see that he may be with you without fear; for the avodas kodesh of Hashem he labors in as I do.
11Therefore, let not anyone despise him. But give him a send-off in shalom that he may come to me; for I am waiting for him with the Achim b'Moshiach.
12Now, concerning Apollos the Ach b'Moshiach, I strongly exhorted him, that he would come to you with the Achim b'Moshiach. But he is beshum oifen (absolutely) unwilling to go at this time, but he will come whenever he has an opportunity.
13Watch, stand firm in the#16:13 Orthodox Jewish emunah (faith), be men, be strong.#16:13 Ps 31:24
14Let everything you do be done in ahavah (agape).
15Now, I urge you, Achim b'Moshiach, you have da'as of the bais of Stephanas, that it is the bikkurim of Achaia, and that they have with devotion and zerizut (diligence) put themselves in avodas kodesh ministry for the Kedoshim.
16Become submissive to such as him and to everyone joining in the avodas kodesh and laboring.
17Now, I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and of Fortunatus and of Achaicus, because these men filled up your absence,
18For they refreshed my neshamah and yours. Give recognition to such men.#16:18 1C 14:38
19Drishat Shalom from the Kehillot of Moshiach of Asia. Drishat Shalom warmly in Adoneinu from Aquila and Prisca, together with the Adat Moshiach in their bais.
20Drishat Shalom from all the Achim b'Moshiach. Greet one another with a neshikat hakodesh (holy kiss).
21THIS GREETING WITH MY OWN HAND, SHA'UL.
22If anyone does not have ahavah (love) for HaAdon, Alav ki Cherem hu (a curse of the ban of destruction is on him).#16:22 1C 12:3 Marana (our L-rd), tha (come).
23The Chen v'Chesed Hashem of Moshiach Adoneinu be with you.
24My ahavah be with you all in Moshiach Yehoshua.

1 Corinthians 16
16
The Question About the Offering for the Lord’s People
1Now I want to deal with the offering of money for the Lord’s people. Do what I told the churches in Galatia to do. 2On the first day of every week, each of you should put some money aside. The amount should be in keeping with how much you’ve made. Save up the money so you won’t have to take an offering when I come. 3When I arrive, I’ll send some people with your gift to Jerusalem. They’ll be people you trust. You can choose them yourselves. I’ll give them letters to explain who they are. 4If it seems good for me to go to Jerusalem too, they can travel with me.
What Paul Asks for Himself
5After I go through Macedonia, I’ll come and see you, since I’ll only be passing through Macedonia. 6I might stay with you for a while, and even spend the winter. Then you can help me on my journey, wherever I go after that. 7I don’t want to see you now while I’m just passing through. Instead, I want to spend some time with you, if the Lord allows that. 8But I’m going to stay here in Ephesus until the day of Pentecost. 9A door has opened wide for me to do some good work here, even though there are also many people who oppose me.
10When Timothy comes, make sure he has nothing to worry about while he’s with you. He’s doing the work of the Lord, just as I am. 11So don’t let anyone treat him with disrespect. Send him on his way in peace so he can return to me. I’m expecting him to come back along with the others.
12As for our brother Apollos, I tried my best to get him to come to you with the others, but he really didn’t want to. He’ll come when it’s a better time.
13Be on your guard, remain strong in the faith, be brave, 14and be loving in everything you do.
15You know that the first believers in Achaia were from the family of Stephanas. They’ve spent all their time serving the Lord’s people. Brothers and sisters, I’m asking you 16to follow the lead of people like them. Follow everyone who joins in the task and works hard at it. 17I was glad when Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus arrived. They have provided me with what you couldn’t give me. 18They refreshed my spirit, and yours also. People like them are worthy of honor.
Final Greetings
19The churches in the province of Asia send you their greetings.
Aquila and Priscilla greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets in their house.
20All the brothers and sisters here send you greetings.
Greet one another with a holy kiss.
21I, Paul, am writing this greeting with my own hand.
22If anyone does not love the Lord, let a curse be on that person! Come, Lord!
23May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
24I give my love to all of you who belong to Christ Jesus. Amen.
