I. CORINTHIANS CHAPTER XVI.

 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 withersoever 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 first-fruits 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, Maran-atha .
23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

(The first epistle to the Corinthians was written from 
Philippi, by Stephanus, and Fortunatus, and 
Achaicus, and Timotheus.)
