Chapter 16
-
Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given orders to the churches of Galatia, so you must do also:
-
On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper, that there be no collections when I come.
-
And when I come, whomever you approve by your letters I will send to bear your gift to Jerusalem.
-
But if it is fitting that I go also, they will go with me.Personal Plans
-
Now I will come to you when I pass through Macedonia (for I am passing through Macedonia).
-
And it may be that I will remain, or even spend the winter with you, that you may send me on my journey, wherever I go.
-
For I do not wish to see you now on the way; but I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits.
-
But I will tarry in Ephesus until Pentecost.
-
For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
-
And if Timothy comes, see that he may be with you without fear; for he does the work of the Lord, as I also do.
-
Therefore let no one despise him. But send him on his journey in peace, that he may come to me; for I am waiting for him with the brethren.
-
Now concerning our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brethren, but he was quite unwilling to come at this time; however, he will come when he has a convenient time.Final Exhortations
-
Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.
-
Let all that you do be done with love.
-
I urge you, brethren--you know the household of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the ministry of the saints--
-
that you also submit to such, and to everyone who works and labors with us.
-
I am glad about the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus, for what was lacking on your part they supplied.
-
For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge such men.Greetings and a Solemn Farewell
-
The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you heartily in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.
-
All the brethren greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
-
The salutation with my own hand--Paul's.
-
If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. O Lord, come!
-
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
-
My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
