1 Corinthians 16

¹Now about the giving of money for the saints, as I gave orders to the churches of Galatia, so do you.

²On the first day of the week, let every one of you put by him in store, in measure as he has done well in business, so that it may not be necessary to get money together when I come.

³And when I come, I will send the men of your selection with letters to take the money you have got together to Jerusalem.

⁴And if it is possible for me to go there, they will go with me.

⁵But I will come to you after I have gone through Macedonia, for that is my purpose;

⁶But I may be with you for a time, or even for the winter, so that you may see me on my way, wherever I go.

⁷For it is not my desire to see you now, on my way; because it is my hope to be with you for some time, if that is the Lord's pleasure.

⁸But I will be at Ephesus till Pentecost;

⁹For a great and important door there is open to me, and there are a number of people against me.

¹⁰Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear; because he is doing the Lord's work, even as I am:

¹¹See then that he has the honour which is right. But send him on his way in peace, so that he may come to me: for I am looking for him with the brothers.

¹²But as for Apollos, the brother, I had a great desire for him to come to you with the brothers, but it was not his pleasure to come now; but he will come when he has a chance.
