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
Collection for the Jerusalem Church
1Now about the collection # Ac 11:30; 2Co 8:4 for the saints: You should do the same as I instructed the Galatian # Gl 1:2 churches. 2On the first day of the week, # Or Each Sunday # Mt 28:1; Mk 16:9; Lk 24:1; Jn 20:1,19; Ac 20:7 each of you is to set something aside and save in keeping with how he prospers, so that no collections will need to be made when I come. # 2Co 9:1-5 3When I arrive, I will send with letters # 2Co 8:16-22 those you recommend to carry your gracious gift to Jerusalem. # Mt 23:37; Ac 8:1 4If it is suitable for me to go as well, they can travel with me.
Paul’s Travel Plans
5I will come to you after I pass through Macedonia # Ac 16:9 — for I will be traveling through Macedonia — 6and perhaps I will remain with you or even spend the winter, so that you may send me on my way wherever I go. 7I don’t want to see you now just in passing, for I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord allows. # Ps 143:10; Pr 16:9; Jn 5:30; Gl 1:4; Eph 1:9; 1Jn 2:17 8But I will stay in Ephesus # Eph 1:1 until Pentecost, # Ex 34:22 9because a wide door # Col 4:3 for effective ministry has opened for me # Lit for a door has opened to me, great and effective — yet many oppose me. 10If Timothy comes, see that he has nothing to fear from you, because he is doing the Lord’s work, # Jn 5:17; 2Jn 8 just as I am. 11Therefore, no one should look down # Lk 18:9 on him. Send him on his way in peace so he can come to me, for I am expecting him with the brothers. # With the brothers may connect with Paul or Timothy.
12About our brother Apollos: # Ti 3:13 I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers, but he was not at all willing to come now. However, he will come when he has an opportunity.
Final Exhortation
13Be alert, stand firm in the faith, # Jd 3 act like a man, be strong. 14Your every action must be done with love. # 1Co 13:1
15Brothers, you know the household of Stephanas: They are the firstfruits # Lv 2:12 of Achaia # Ac 18:12 and have devoted themselves to serving the saints. I urge you 16also to submit to such people, and to everyone who works and labors with them. 17I am pleased to have Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus present, because these men have made up for your absence. 18For they have refreshed my spirit # Ps 51:12 and yours. Therefore recognize # 1Th 5:12 such people.
Conclusion
19The churches of Asia # Ac 6:9 greet you. # Rm 16:3-23; 2Co 13:12; Php 4:21-22; Col 4:10-15; 1Th 5:26; Phm 23-24 Aquila and Priscilla # Ac 18:2 greet you warmly in the Lord, along with the church that meets in their home. # Rm 16:5 20All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss. # 2Co 13:12
21This greeting is in my own hand # Paul normally dictated his letters to a secretary, but signed the end of each letter himself; Rm 16:22; Gl 6:11; Col 4:18; 2Th 3:17. # 2Th 3:17 — Paul. 22If anyone does not love the Lord, a curse be on him. Marana tha that is, Lord, come! # Or Maran atha (an Aram expression transliterated into Gk) = Our Lord has come! 23The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you. # 2Co 13:13; Gl 6:18; Eph 6:23-24; Php 4:23; Col 4:18; 1Th 5:28; 2Th 3:18 24My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus.
