1 Corinthians 16
16
1Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I directed the assemblies of Galatia, so do ye do also. 2On the first of the week let each of you put by at home, laying up in whatever degree he may have prospered, that there may be no collections when I come. 3And when I am arrived, whomsoever ye shall approve, these I will send with letters to carry your bounty to Jerusalem: 4and if it be suitable that I also should go, they shall go with me.
5But I will come to you when I shall have gone through Macedonia; for I do go through Macedonia. 6But perhaps I will stay with you, or even winter with you, that ye may set me forward wheresoever I may go. 7For I will not see you now in passing, for I hope to remain a certain time with you, if the Lord permit. 8But I remain in Ephesus until Pentecost. 9For a great door is opened to me and an effectual one, and the adversaries many.
10Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear; for he works the work of the Lord, even as I. 11Let not therefore any one despise him; but set him forward in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren. 12Now concerning the brother Apollos, I begged him much that he would go to you with the brethren; but it was not at all his will to go now; but he will come when he shall have good opportunity.
13Be vigilant; stand fast in the faith; quit yourselves like men; be strong. 14Let all things ye do be done in love. 15But I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruits of Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the saints for service,) 16that ye should also be subject to such, and to every one joined in the work and labouring. 17But I rejoice in the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus; because they have supplied what was lacking on your part. 18For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: own therefore such.
19The assemblies of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla, with the assembly in their house, salute you much in the Lord. 20All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss. 21The salutation of me Paul with my own hand. 22If any one love not the Lord Jesus Christ let him be Anathema Maranatha. 23The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. 24My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

The Collection for the Saints
(2 Corinthians 9:1–15)
1Now about the collection for the saints, you are to do as I directed the churches of Galatia: 2On the first day of every week, each of you should set aside a portion of his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will be needed. 3Then, on my arrival, I will send letters with those you recommend to carry your gift to Jerusalem. 4And if it is advisable for me to go also, they can travel with me.
Paul’s Travel Plans
(Romans 15:23–33)
5After I go through Macedonia, however, I will come to you; for I will be going through Macedonia. 6Perhaps I will stay with you awhile, or even spend the winter, so that you can help me on my journey, wherever I go. 7For I do not want to see you now only in passing; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits. 8But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost,#16:8 That is, Shavuot, the late spring feast of pilgrimage to Jerusalem; it is also known as the Feast of Harvest (see Exodus 23:16) or the Feast of Weeks (see Exodus 34:22). 9because a great door for effective work has opened to me, even though many oppose me.
Timothy and Apollos
(Philippians 2:19–30)
10If Timothy comes, see to it that he has nothing to fear while he is with you, for he is doing the work of the Lord, just as I am. 11No one, then, should treat him with contempt. Send him on his way in peace so that he can return to me, for I am expecting him along with the brothers.
12Now about our brother Apollos: I strongly urged him to go to you with the brothers. He was not at all inclined to go now, but he will go when he has the opportunity.
Concluding Exhortations
13Be on the alert. Stand firm in the faith. Be men of courage. Be strong. 14Do everything in love.
15You know that Stephanas and his household were the first converts in Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints. Now I urge you, brothers, 16to submit to such as these, and to every fellow worker and laborer.
17I am glad that Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus have arrived, because they have supplied what was lacking from you. 18For they refreshed my spirit and yours as well. Show your appreciation, therefore, to such men.
Signature and Final Greetings
(Colossians 4:15–18; 2 Thessalonians 3:16–18)
19The churches in the province of Asia #16:19 Literally in Asia; Asia was a Roman province in what is now western Turkey. send you greetings.
Aquila and Prisca #16:19 Prisca is a variant of Priscilla; see Acts 18:2. greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house.
20All the brothers here send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
21This greeting is in my own hand—Paul.
22If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be under a curse. Come, O Lord!#16:22 Greek Marana Tha! from a transliteration of the Aramaic, an exclamation of approaching divine judgment
23The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
24My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus.
Amen.#16:24 SBL, WH, and NA do not include Amen.
