16:1 Now concerning the collection for the Saints, as I haue giuen order to the Churches of Galatia, euen so doe ye. 16:2 Upon the first day of the weeke, let euery one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come. 16:3 And when I come, whomsoeuer you shall approue by your letters, them wil I send to bring your liberality vnto Ierusalem. 16:4 And if it be meet that I goe also, they shall goe with me. 16:5 Now I wil come vnto you, when I shall passe through Macedonia: for I doe passe through Macedonia. 16:6 And it may bee that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that yee may bring me on my iourny, whithersoeuer I goe. 16:7 For I will not see you now by the way, but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit. 16:8 But I will tarry at Ephesus vntill Pentecost. 16:9 For a great doore and effectuall is opened vnto mee, and there are many aduersaries. 16:10 Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without feare: for hee worketh the worke of the Lord, as I also doe. 16:11 Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that hee may come vnto me: for I looke for him with the brethren. 16:12 As touching our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come vnto you with ye brethren, but his wil was not at all to come at this time: but he wil come when hee shall haue conuenient time. 16:13 Watch yee, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men: be strong. 16:14 Let all your things be done with charitie. 16:15 I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and that they haue addicted themselues to the ministery of the Saints,) 16:16 That ye submit your selues vnto such, and to euery one that helpeth with vs and laboureth. 16:17 I am glad of the comming of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part, they haue supplied. 16:18 For they haue refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge yee them that are such. 16:19 The Churches of Asia salute you: Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the Church that is in their house. 16:20 All the brethren greet you: greet ye one another with an holy kisse. 16:21 The salutation of me Paul, with mine owne hand. 16:22 If any man loue not the Lord Iesus Christ, let him bee Anathema Maranatha. 16:23 The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with you. 16:24 My loue be with you all in Christ Iesus, Amen.
