1 Corinthians 16, side by side

¹Now about the collection for the saints, you are to do as I directed the churches of Galatia:

¹Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.

²On the first day of every week, each of you should set aside a portion of his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will be needed.

²Upon 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.

³Then, on my arrival, I will send letters with those you recommend to carry your gift to Jerusalem.

³And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.

⁴And if it is advisable for me to go also, they can travel with me.

⁴And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.

⁵After I go through Macedonia, however, I will come to you; for I will be going through Macedonia.

⁵Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.

⁶Perhaps I will stay with you awhile, or even spend the winter, so that you can help me on my journey, wherever I go.

⁶And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go.

⁷For I do not want to see you now only in passing; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.

⁷For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.

⁸But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost,

⁸But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.

⁹because a great door for effective work has opened to me, even though many oppose me.

⁹For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.

¹⁰If Timothy comes, see to it that he has nothing to fear while he is with you, for he is doing the work of the Lord, just as I am.

¹⁰Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do.

¹¹No one, then, should treat him with contempt. Send him on his way in peace so that he can return to me, for I am expecting him along with the brothers.

¹¹Let 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.

¹²Now about our brother Apollos: I strongly urged him to go to you with the brothers. He was not at all inclined to go now, but he will go when he has the opportunity.

¹²As 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.

¹³Be on the alert. Stand firm in the faith. Be men of courage. Be strong.

¹³Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

¹⁴Do everything in love.

¹⁴Let all your things be done with charity.

¹⁵You know that Stephanas and his household were the first converts in Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints. Now I urge you, brothers,

¹⁵I 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,)

¹⁶to submit to such as these, and to every fellow worker and laborer.

¹⁶That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth.

¹⁷I am glad that Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus have arrived, because they have supplied what was lacking from you.

¹⁷I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.

¹⁸For they refreshed my spirit and yours as well. Show your appreciation, therefore, to such men.

¹⁸For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.

¹⁹The churches in the province of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Prisca greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house.

¹⁹The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.

²⁰All the brothers here send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

²⁰All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.

²¹This greeting is in my own hand—Paul.

²¹The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.

²²If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be under a curse. Come, O Lord!

²²If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.

²³The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.

²³The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

²⁴My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.

²⁴My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
