Sept. 20
1 Corinthians 16
1Co 16:1 Now concerning
the collection for the saints, as I commanded the assemblies of
Galatia, you do likewise.
1Co 16:2 On the first
day of the week, let each one of you save, as he may prosper, that no
collections be made when I come.
1Co 16:3 When I arrive,
I will send whoever you approve with letters to carry your gracious
gift to Jerusalem.
1Co 16:4 If it is
appropriate for me to go also, they will go with me.
1Co 16:5 But I will
come to you when I have passed through Macedonia, for I am passing
through Macedonia.
1Co 16:6 But with you
it may be that I will stay, or even winter, that you may send me on
my journey wherever I go.
1Co 16:7 For I do not
wish to see you now in passing, but I hope to stay a while with you,
if the Lord permits.
1Co 16:8 But I will
stay at Ephesus until Pentecost,
1Co 16:9 for a great
and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
1Co 16:10 Now if
Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear, for he does the
work of the Lord, as I also do.
1Co 16:11 Therefore let
no one despise him. But set him forward on his journey in peace, that
he may come to me; for I expect him with the brothers.
1Co 16:12 Now
concerning Apollos, the brother, I strongly urged him to come to you
with the brothers; and it was not at all his desire to come now; but
he will come when he has an opportunity.
1Co 16:13 Watch! Stand
firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!
1Co 16:14 Let all that
you do be done in love.
1Co 16:15 Now I beg
you, brothers (you know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first
fruits of Achaia, and that they have set themselves to serve the
saints),
1Co 16:16 that you also
be in subjection to such, and to everyone who helps in the work and
labors.
1Co 16:17 I rejoice at
the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for that which was
lacking on your part, they supplied.
1Co 16:18 For they
refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge those who are
like that.
1Co 16:19 The
assemblies of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you much in
the Lord, together with the assembly that is in their house.
1Co 16:20 All the
brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
1Co 16:21 This greeting
is by me, Paul, with my own hand.
1Co 16:22 If any man
doesn't love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. Come, Lord!
1Co 16:23 The grace of
the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
1Co 16:24 My love to
all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
