1 Corinthians 16:1 God's Pattern For The Finances Of The Church |
|
Young's Literal1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. 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 come, whomsoever ye shall approve by [your] letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem. 4 And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me. 5 Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do 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. 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 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost. 9 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and [there are] 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]. 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 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 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. 14 Let all your things be done with 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,) 16 That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with [us], and laboureth. 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 have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such. 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 brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss. 21 The salutation of [me] Paul with mine own hand. 22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha. 23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you. 24 My love [be] with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen. [The first [epistle] to the Corinthians was written from Philippi by Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, and Timotheus.] King James Version1 And concerning the collection that [is] for the saints, as I directed to the assemblies of Galatia, so also ye -- do ye; 2 on 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; 3 and whenever I may come, whomsoever ye may approve, through letters, these I will send to carry your favour to Jerusalem; 4 and if it be meet for me also to go, with me they shall go. 5 And I will come unto you, when I pass through Macedonia -- for Macedonia I do pass through -- 6 and with you, it may be, I will abide, or even winter, that ye may send me forward whithersoever I go, 7 for 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; 8 and I will remain in Ephesus till the Pentecost, 9 for a door to me hath been opened -- great and effectual -- and withstanders [are] many. 10 And 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, 11 no 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; 12 and 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. 13 Watch ye, stand in the faith; be men, be strong; 14 let all your things be done in love. 15 And I entreat you, brethren, ye have known the household of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruit of Achaia, and to the ministration to the saints they did set themselves -- 16 that ye also be subject to such, and to every one who is working with [us] and labouring; 17 and I rejoice over the presence of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, because the lack of you did these fill up; 18 for they did refresh my spirit and yours; acknowledge ye, therefore, those who [are] such. 19 Salute you do the assemblies of Asia; salute you much in the Lord do Aquilas and Priscilla, with the assembly in their house; 20 salute you do all the brethren; salute ye one another in an holy kiss. 21 The salutation of [me] Paul with my hand; 22 if any one doth not love the Lord Jesus Christ -- let him be anathema! The Lord hath come! 23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ [is] with you; 24 my love [is] with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen. |
