wmth@1Corinthians:16:1 @ As to the collection for God's people, what I have directed the Churches of Galatia to do, you must do also.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:2 @ On the first day of every week let each of you put on one side and store up at his home whatever gain has been granted to him; so that whenever I come, there may then be no collections going on.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:3 @ And when I am with you, whatever brethren you accredit by letter I will send to carry your kind gift to Jerusalem.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:4 @ And if it is worth while for me also to make the journey, they shall go as my companions.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:5 @ I shall come to you after passing through Macedonia; for my plan will be to pass through Macedonia;

wmth@1Corinthians:16:6 @ and I shall make some stay with you perhaps, or even spend the winter with you, in order that you may help me forward, whichever way I travel.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:7 @ For I do not wish to see you on this occasion merely in passing; but if the Lord permits, I hope to remain some time with you.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:8 @ I shall remain in Ephesus, however, until the time of the Harvest Festival,

wmth@1Corinthians:16:9 @ for a wide door stands open before me which demands great efforts, and we have many opponents.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:10 @ If Timothy pays you a visit, see that he is free from fear in his relations with you; for he is engaged in the Master's work just as I am.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:11 @ Therefore let no one slight him, but all of you should help him forward in peace to join me; for I am waiting for him and others of the brethren.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:12 @ As for our brother Apollos, I have repeatedly urged him to accompany the brethren who are coming to you: but he is quite resolved not to do so at present. He will come, however, when he has a good opportunity.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:13 @ Be on the alert; stand firm in the faith; acquit yourselves like men; be strong.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:14 @ Let all that you do be done from motives of love.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:15 @ And I beseech you, brethren –you know the household of Stephanas, how they were the earliest Greek converts to Christ, and have devoted themselves to the service of God's people–

wmth@1Corinthians:16:16 @ I beseech you, on your part, to show deference to such men, and to every one who participates in their work and toils hard.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:17 @ It is a joy to me that Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus have now arrived, because what was wanting so far as you are concerned they have supplied.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:18 @ They have refreshed my spirit, and yours. Acknowledge such men as these.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:19 @ The Churches in the province of Asia send you greetings; and Aquila and Prisca, in hearty Christian love, do the same, together with the Church which meets at their house.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:20 @ The brethren all send greetings to you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:21 @ The final greeting of me –Paul– with my own hand.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:22 @ If any one is destitute of love to the Lord, let him be accursed. OUR LORD IS COMING.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:23 @ The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:24 @ My love in Christ Jesus be with you all.
