Bible, King James Version
1_Corinthians
1Cor.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 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.
