| |
| | 1Cr 16:1 | As to the collection for God's people, what I have directed the Churches of Galatia to do, you must do also.
| |
| | 1Cr 16:2 | On the first day of every week let each of you put on one side and store up at his home whatever gain has been granted to him; so that whenever I come, there may then be no collections going on.
| |
| | 1Cr 16:3 | And when I am with you, whatever brethren you accredit by letter I will send to carry your kind gift to Jerusalem.
| |
| | 1Cr 16:4 | And if it is worth while for me also to make the journey, they shall go as my companions.
| |
| | 1Cr 16:5 | I shall come to you after passing through Macedonia; for my plan will be to pass through Macedonia;
| |
| | 1Cr 16:6 | and I shall make some stay with you perhaps, or even spend the winter with you, in order that you may help me forward, whichever way I travel.
| |
| | 1Cr 16:7 | For I do not wish to see you on this occasion merely in passing; but if the Lord permits, I hope to remain some time with you.
| |
| | 1Cr 16:8 | I shall remain in Ephesus, however, until the time of the Harvest Festival,
| |
| | 1Cr 16:9 | for a wide door stands open before me which demands great efforts, and we have many opponents.
| |
| | 1Cr 16:10 | If Timothy pays you a visit, see that he is free from fear in his relations with you; for he is engaged in the Master's work just as I am.
| |
| | 1Cr 16:11 | Therefore let no one slight him, but all of you should help him forward in peace to join me; for I am waiting for him and others of the brethren.
| |
| | 1Cr 16:12 | As for our brother Apollos, I have repeatedly urged him to accompany the brethren who are coming to you: but he is quite resolved not to do so at present. He will come, however, when he has a good opportunity.
| |
| | 1Cr 16:13 | Be on the alert; stand firm in the faith; acquit yourselves like men; be strong.
| |
| | 1Cr 16:14 | Let all that you do be done from motives of love.
| |
| | 1Cr 16:15 | And I beseech you, brethren--you know the household of Stephanas, how they were the earliest Greek converts to Christ, and have devoted themselves to the service of God's people--
| |
| | 1Cr 16:16 | I beseech you, on your part, to show deference to such men, and to every one who participates in their work and toils hard.
| |
| | 1Cr 16:17 | It is a joy to me that Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus have now arrived, because what was wanting so far as you are concerned they have supplied.
| |
| | 1Cr 16:18 | They have refreshed my spirit, and yours. Acknowledge such men as these.
| |
| | 1Cr 16:19 | The Churches in the province of Asia send you greetings; and Aquila and Prisca, in hearty Christian love, do the same, together with the Church which meets at their house.
| |
| | 1Cr 16:20 | The brethren all send greetings to you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
| |
| | 1Cr 16:21 | The final greeting of me--Paul--with my own hand.
| |
| | 1Cr 16:22 | If any one is destitute of love to the Lord, let him be accursed. OUR LORD IS COMING.
| |
| | 1Cr 16:23 | The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
| |
| | 1Cr 16:24 | My love in Christ Jesus be with you all.
