1 Corinthians 16

KING JAMES BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.	1 Now concerning the collections which are made for the saints: just as I have arranged for the churches of Galatia, so should it also be done with you.
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.	2 On the first day of the week, the Sabbath, let each one of you take from himself, setting aside what will be well-pleasing to him, so that when I arrive, the collections will not have to be made then.
3 And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.	3 And when I am present, whomever you shall approve through letters, these I shall send to bear your gifts to Jerusalem.
4 And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.	4 And if it is fitting for me to go too, they shall go with me.
5 Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.	5 Now I will visit you after I have passed through Macedonia. For I will pass through Macedonia.
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.	6 And perhaps I will stay with you, and even spend the winter, so that you may lead me on my way, whenever I depart.
7 For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.	7 For I am not willing to see you now only in passing, since I hope that I may remain with you for some length of time, if the Lord permits.
8 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.	8 But I must remain at Ephesus, even until Pentecost.
9 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.	9 For a door, great and unavoidable, has opened to me, as well as many adversaries.
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.	10 Now if Timothy arrives, see to it that he may be among you without fear. For he is doing the work of the Lord, just as I also do.
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.	11 Therefore, let no one despise him. Instead, lead him on his way in peace, so that he may come to me. For I am awaiting him with the brothers.
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.	12 But concerning our brother, Apollo, I am letting you know that I pleaded with him greatly to go to you with the brothers, and clearly it was not his will to go at this time. But he will arrive when there is a space of time for him.
13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.	13 Be vigilant. Stand with faith. Act manfully and be strengthened.
14 Let all your things be done with charity.	14 Let all that is yours be immersed in charity.
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,)	15 And I beg you, brothers: You know the house of Stephanus, and of Fortunatus, and of Achaicus, that they are the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they have dedicated themselves to the ministry of the saints.
16 That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth.	16 So you should be subject also to persons such as this, as well as to all who are cooperating and working with them.
17 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.	17 Now I rejoice in the presence of Stephanus and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because what was lacking in you, they have supplied.
18 For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.	18 For they have refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore, recognize persons such as this.
19 The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.	19 The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you greatly in the Lord, with the church of their household, where I also am a guest.
20 All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.	20 All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
21 The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.	21 This is a greeting from my own hand, Paul.
22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.	22 If anyone does not love our Lord Jesus Christ, let him be anathema! Maran Atha.
23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.	23 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.	24 My charity is with all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
