First corinthians 16:1-24 LSV
[1] And concerning the collection that [is] for the holy ones, as I directed to the assemblies of Galatia, so also you—do; [2] on every first [day] of the week, let each one of you lay by him, treasuring up whatever he may have prospered, that when I may come then collections may not be made; [3] and whenever I may come, whomsoever you may approve, through letters, these I will send to carry your favor to Jerusalem; [4] and if it be worthy for me also to go, with me they will go. [5] And I will come to you when I pass through Macedonia—for I pass through Macedonia— [6] and with you, it may be, I will abide, or even winter, that you may send me forward wherever I go, [7] for I do not wish to see you now in the passing, but I hope to remain a certain time with you, if the LORD may permit; [8] and I will remain in Ephesus until the Pentecost, [9] for a door has been opened to me—great and effectual—and withstanders [are] many. [10] And if Timotheus may come, see that he may become without fear with you, for he works the work of the LORD, even as I, [11] no one, then, may despise him; and send him forward in peace, that he may come to me, for I expect him with the brothers; [12] and concerning Apollos our brother, I begged him much that he may come to you with the brothers, and it was not at all [his] will that he may come now, and he will come when he may find convenient. [13] Watch, stand in the faith; be men, be strong; [14] let all your things be done in love. [15] And I beg you, brothers, you have known the household of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruit of Achaia, and they set themselves to the ministry to the holy ones— [16] that you also be subject to such, and to everyone who is working with [us] and laboring; [17] and I rejoice over the coming of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, because these filled up the lack of you; [18] for they refreshed my spirit and yours; acknowledge, therefore, those who [are] such. [19] The assemblies of Asia greet you; Aquilas and Priscilla greet you much in the LORD, with the assembly in their house; [20] all the brothers greet you; greet one another in a holy kiss. [21] The salutation of [me], Paul, with my hand; [22] if anyone does not cherish the Lord Jesus Christ—let him be accursed! The LORD has come! [23] The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ [is] with you; [24] my love [is] with you all in Christ Jesus! Amen.
