(King James Version)
First
Corinthians: Chapter 16
1. NOW
concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the
churches of Galatia, even so do ye.
2. Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in
store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I
come.
3. And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them
will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.
4. And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.
5. Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I
do pass through Macedonia.
6. And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye
may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go.
7. For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while
with you, if the Lord permit.
8. But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
9. For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many
adversaries.
10. Now if Ti-moth-e-us come, see that he may be with you without fear:
for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do.
11. Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace,
that he may come unto me: for I look for him with the brethren.
12. As touching our brother A-pol-los, I greatly desired him to come
unto you with the brethren: but his will was not at all to come at this
time; but he will come when he shall have convenient time.
13. Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
14. Let all your things be done with charity.
15. I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Steph-a-nas, that it
is the firstfruits of A-chai-a, and that they have addicted themselves
to the ministry of the saints,)
16. That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth
with us, and laboureth.
17. I am glad of the coming of Steph-a-nas and For-tu-na-tus and A-cha-i-cus:
for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.
18. For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge
ye them that are such.
19. The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute
you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.
20. All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy
kiss.
21. The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.
22. If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be A-nath-e-ma
Mar-an-a-tha.
23. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
24. My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
