NASB Bible

1 Corinthians 16

Instructions and Greetings

1

Now concerning  athe collection for  bthe saints, as  cI directed the churches of  dGalatia, so do you also.

2

On  athe first day of every week each one of you is to  1put aside and save, as he may prosper, so that  bno collections be made when I come.

3

When I arrive,  awhomever you may approve, I will send them with letters to carry your gift to Jerusalem;

4

and if it is fitting for me to go also, they will go with me.

5

But I  awill come to you after I go through  bMacedonia, for I  cam going through Macedonia;

6

and perhaps I will stay with you, or even spend the winter, so that you may  asend me on my way wherever I may go.

7

For I do not wish to see you now  ajust in passing; for I hope to remain with you for some time,  bif the Lord permits.

8

But I will remain in  aEphesus until  bPentecost;

9

for a  awide door  1for effective service has opened to me, and  bthere are many adversaries.

10

Now if  aTimothy comes, see that he is with you without  1cause to be afraid, for he is doing  bthe Lord's work, as I also am.

11

 aSo let no one despise him. But  bsend him on his way  cin peace, so that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren.

12

But concerning  aApollos our brother, I encouraged him greatly to come to you with the brethren; and it was not at all his desire to come now, but he will come when he has opportunity.

13

 aBe on the alert,  bstand firm in the faith,  cact like men,  dbe strong.

14

Let all that you do be done  ain love.

15

Now I urge you, brethren (you know the  ahousehold of Stephanas, that  1they were the  bfirst fruits of  cAchaia, and that they have devoted themselves for  dministry to  ethe saints),

16

that  ayou also be in subjection to such men and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.

17

I rejoice over the  1 acoming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they have  2supplied  bwhat was lacking on your part.

18

For they  ahave refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore  backnowledge such men.

19

The churches of  aAsia greet you.  bAquila and Prisca greet you heartily in the Lord, with  cthe church that is in their house.

20

All the brethren greet you.  aGreet one another with a holy kiss.

21

The greeting is in  amy own hand-- 1Paul.

22

If anyone does not love the Lord, he is to be  1 aaccursed.  2 bMaranatha.

23

 aThe grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.

24

My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
