# 1 Corinthians 16

[1](#verse-1) Now concerning the collection for the saints: as I commanded the assemblies of Galatia, you do likewise.

[2](#verse-2) On the first day of every week, let each one of you save as he may prosper, that no collections are made when I come.

[3](#verse-3) When I arrive, I will send whoever you approve with letters to carry your gracious gift to Jerusalem.

[4](#verse-4) If it is appropriate for me to go also, they will go with me.

[5](#verse-5) I will come to you when I have passed through Macedonia, for I am passing through Macedonia.

[6](#verse-6) But with you it may be that I will stay with you, or even winter with you, that you may send me on my journey wherever I go.

[7](#verse-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.

[8](#verse-8) But I will stay at Ephesus until Pentecost,

[9](#verse-9) for a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

[10](#verse-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.

[11](#verse-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.

[12](#verse-12) Now concerning Apollos the brother, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers, but it was not at all his desire to come now; but he will come when he has an opportunity.

[13](#verse-13) Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!

[14](#verse-14) Let all that you do be done in love.

[15](#verse-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—

[16](#verse-16) that you also be in subjection to such, and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.

[17](#verse-17) I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for that which was lacking on your part, they supplied.

[18](#verse-18) For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge those who are like that.

[19](#verse-19) The assemblies of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you warmly in the Lord, together with the assembly that is in their house.

[20](#verse-20) All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

[21](#verse-21) This greeting is by me, Paul, with my own hand.

[22](#verse-22) If any man doesn’t love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be cursed. Come, Lord!

[23](#verse-23) The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

[24](#verse-24) My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
