1 Corinthians 16

King James Version

The Collection for the Lord’s People
16:1  Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.
16:2  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.
16:3  And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.
16:4  And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.

Personal Requests
16:5  Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.
16:6  And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go.
16:7  For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.
16:8  But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
16:9  For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.
16:10  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.
16:11  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.
16:12  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.
16:13  Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
16:14  Let all your things be done with charity.
16:15  I 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,)
16:16  That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth.
16:17  I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.
16:18  For they have refreshed my spirit and your's: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.

Final Greetings
16:19  The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.
16:20  All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.
16:21  The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.
16:22  If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.
16:23  The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
16:24  My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
