1 Corinthians 16

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Now in regard to the collection for the holy ones, you also should do as I ordered the churches of Galatia.	1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.
2 On the first day of the week each of you should set aside and save whatever one can afford, so that collections will not be going on when I come.	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.
3 And when I arrive, I shall send those whom you have approved with letters of recommendation to take your gracious gift to Jerusalem.	3 And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.
4 If it seems fitting that I should go also, they will go with me.	4 And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.
5 I shall come to you after I pass through Macedonia (for I am going to pass through Macedonia),	5 Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.
6 and perhaps I shall stay or even spend the winter with you, so that you may send me on my way wherever I may go.	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.
7 For I do not wish to see you now just in passing, but I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.	7 For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.
8 I shall stay in Ephesus until Pentecost,	8 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
9 because a door has opened for me wide and productive for work, but there are many opponents.	9 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.
10 If Timothy comes, see that he is without fear in your company, for he is doing the work of the Lord just as I am.	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.
11 Therefore no one should disdain him. Rather, send him on his way in peace that he may come to me, for I am expecting him with the brothers.	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.
12 Now in regard to our brother Apollos, I urged him strongly to go to you with the brothers, but it was not at all his will that he go now. He will go when he has an opportunity.	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.
13 Be on your guard, stand firm in the faith, be courageous, be strong.	13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
14 Your every act should be done with love.	14 Let all your things be done with charity.
15 I urge you, brothers--you know that the household of Stephanas is the firstfruits of Achaia and that they have devoted themselves to the service of the holy ones--	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 be subordinate to such people and to everyone who works and toils with them.	16 That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth.
17 I rejoice in the arrival of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus, because they made up for your absence,	17 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.
18 for they refreshed my spirit as well as yours. So give recognition to such people.	18 For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.
19 The churches of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Prisca together with the church at their house send you many greetings in the Lord.	19 The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.
20 All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.	20 All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.
21 I, Paul, write you this greeting in my own hand.	21 The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.
22 If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be accursed. Marana tha.	22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.
23 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.	23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
24 My love to all of you in Christ Jesus.	24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
