1 Corinthians 16

¹And concerning the collection that [is] for the saints, as I directed to the assemblies of Galatia, so also ye — do ye;

²on 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;

³and whenever I may come, whomsoever ye may approve, through letters, these I will send to carry your favour to Jerusalem;

⁴and if it be meet for me also to go, with me they shall go.

⁵And I will come unto you, when I pass through Macedonia — for Macedonia I do pass through —

⁶and with you, it may be, I will abide, or even winter, that ye may send me forward whithersoever I go,

⁷for 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;

⁸and I will remain in Ephesus till the Pentecost,

⁹for a door to me hath been opened — great and effectual — and withstanders [are] many.

¹⁰And if Timotheus may come, see that he may become without fear with you, for the work of the Lord he doth work, even as I,

¹¹no one, then, may despise him; and send ye him forward in peace, that he may come to me, for I expect him with the brethren;

¹²and concerning Apollos our brother, much I did entreat him that he may come unto you with the brethren, and it was not at all [his] will that he may come now, and he will come when he may find convenient.
