abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the
Lord.
CHAPTER CORINTHIANS 16
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 Timotheus 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 Apollos, 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 Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, 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 Stephanas and Fortunatus and
Achaicus: 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 Anathema Maranatha.
23
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
be
with you.
24
My love
be
with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
