1Corinthians 16

16Now about the collection for the Lord's people: Do what I told the Galatian churches to do.G1161G4012G3048G1519G40G5618G1299G1577G1053G2532G3779G4160G52102On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with your income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made.G2596G3391G4521G5087G1538G5216G5087G3844G1438G2343G3748G302G2137G3363G1096G3363G3048G5119G3752G20643Then, when I arrive, I will give letters of introduction to the men you approve and send them with your gift to Jerusalem.G1161G3752G3854G3739G1437G1381G1223G1992G5128G3992G667G5216G5485G1519G24194If it seems advisable for me to go also, they will accompany me.G1161G1437G5600G514G4198G2504G4198G4862G16985After I go through Macedonia, I will come to you—for I will be going through Macedonia.G1161G2064G4314G5209G3752G1330G3109G1063G1330G31096Perhaps I will stay with you for a while, or even spend the winter, so that you can help me on my journey, wherever I go.G1161G5177G3887G2228G2532G3914G4314G5209G2443G5210G4311G3165G4311G3757G1437G41987For I do not want to see you now and make only a passing visit; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.G1063G2309G3756G1492G5209G737G1722G3938G1161G1679G1961G5100G5550G4314G5209G1437G2962G20108But I will stay on at Ephesus until Pentecost,G1161G1961G1722G2181G2193G40059because a great door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many who oppose me.G1063G3173G2374G2532G1756G455G3427G2532G4183G48010When Timothy comes, see to it that he has nothing to fear while he is with you, for he is carrying on the work of the Lord, just as I am.G1161G1437G5095G2064G991G2443G1096G4314G5209G870G1063G2038G2041G2962G5613G1473G253211No one, then, should treat him with contempt. Send him on his way in peace so that he may return to me. I am expecting him along with the brothers.G1848G3361G5100G3767G1848G846G1161G4311G846G4311G1722G1515G2443G2064G4314G3165G1063G1551G846G3326G8012Now about our brother Apollos: I strongly urged him to go to you with the brothers. He was quite unwilling to go now, but he will go when he has the opportunity.G1161G4012G80G625G3870G4183G3870G846G2443G2064G4314G5209G3326G80G2532G2307G2258G3756G3843G2443G2064G3568G1161G2064G3752G211913Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.G1127G4739G1722G4102G407G290114Do everything in love.G1096G3956G5216G3956G1096G1722G2615You know that the household of Stephanas were the first converts in Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the Lord's people. I urge you, brothers and sisters,G1161G3870G5209G80G1492G3614G4734G3754G2076G536G882G2532G5021G1438G1519G1248G4016to submit to such as these and to everyone who joins in the work and labors at it.G2532G2443G5210G5293G5108G2532G3956G4903G2532G287217I was glad when Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus arrived, because they have supplied what was lacking from you.G1161G5463G1909G3952G4734G2532G5415G2532G883G3754G5303G5216G3778G37818For they refreshed my spirit and yours also. Such men deserve recognition.G1063G373G1699G4151G2532G5216G3767G1921G510819The churches in the province of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Priscilla greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house.G1577G773G782G5209G207G2532G4252G782G5209G4183G1722G2962G4862G1577G2596G846G362420All the brothers and sisters here send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.G3956G80G782G5209G782G240G1722G40G537021I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand.G783G3972G1699G549522If anyone does not love the Lord, let that person be cursed! Come, Lord !G1536G5368G3756G2962G2424G5547G2277G331G313423The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.G5485G2962G2424G5547G3326G521624My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.G3450G26G3326G5216G3956G1722G5547G2424G281
