1Corinthians:16:5-18
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now ,
I will come to you ,
when I have passed through Macedonia , (
for I do pass through Macedonia ;)
*
and ,
perhaps ,
I shall abide ,
and even winter with you ,
that you may send me forward ,
whithersoever I may go .
*
For I will not now see you in passing ;
but I hope to remain with you sometime ,
if the Lord permit .
*
However ,
I shall remain at Ephesus till Pentecost .
*
For a great and effectual door is opened to me ,
yet there are many opposers .
*
Now ,
if Timothy be come ,
take care that he be among you without fear ;
for he works ,
even as I do ,
the work of the Lord .
*
Wherefore ,
let no one despise him ;
but send him forward in peace ,
that he may come to me ;
for I expect him with the brethren .
*
And with relation to our brother Apollos ,
I entreated him much to go to you with the brethren ;
but his inclination was not at all to go now ,
but he will go when he shall find a convenient season .
*
Watch ;
stand fast in the faith ;
acquit yourselves like men ;
be strong .
*
Let all things be done with love .
*
You know the family of Stephanus ,
that it is the first fruit of Achaia ,
and that they have devoted themselves to the ministry of the saints .
*
I entreat you ,
therefore ,
brethren ,
that you submit yourselves to such ,
and to every joint worker and laborer .
*
I am glad of the coming of Stephanus ,
and Fortunatus ,
and Achaicus ;
for they have supplied your deficiency ,
*
and have refreshed my spirit and yours ;
wherefore ,
acknowledge such persons .
