1 Corinthians 16 — GNB
16Verse 1Now concerning the collection for the saints, according to the directions which I gave to the churches of Galatia, so also do ye.Verse 2Every first day of the week let each of you lay by him something in store, according as he hath prospered; that the collections may not have to be made when I come.Verse 3And when I am with you, I will send with letters whomever you may approve to carry your bounty to Jerusalem;Verse 4and if it be worth while for me to go also, they shall go with me.Verse 5Now I will come to you, when I have passed through Macedonia; for I am about to pass through Macedonia;Verse 6and perhaps I may remain, or even spend the winter with you, that ye may set me forward on my journey whithersoever I may be going.Verse 7For I am unwilling to see you now in passing; for I hope to stay some time with you if the Lord permit.Verse 8But I shall remain at Ephesus until the Pentecost;Verse 9for a door hath been opened to me great and effective, and there are many adversaries.Verse 10Now if Timothy come, see that he be with you without fear; for he is laboring in the work of the Lord, as I am;Verse 11let no one therefore despise him. But conduct him on in peace, that he may come to me; for I am waiting for him with the brethren.Verse 12As regards Apollos, the brother, I urged him much to come to you with the brethren; and it was not at all his will to come at this time; but he will come when he hath a convenient opportunity.Verse 13Watch, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong;Verse 14let all your doings be in love.Verse 15And I exhort you, brethren,—ye know the family of Stephanas, that they are the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the service of the holy,—Verse 16that ye submit yourselves to such as they are, and to every one that worketh with us, and laboreth.Verse 17I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus; for what was lacking on your part, they supplied;Verse 18for they refreshed my spirit and yours. Pay regard then to those that are such.Verse 19The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Prisca, with the church that is in their house, send you many salutations in the Lord.Verse 20All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss.Verse 21The salutation of me, Paul, with my own hand.Verse 22If any one loveth not the Lord, let him be accursed! The Lord is at hand.Verse 23The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.Verse 24My love is with you all in Christ Jesus.
