1 Corinthians 16:3-13

Weymouth New Testament WNT

3 And when I am with you, whatever brethren you accredit by letter I will send to carry your kind gift to Jerusalem.

4 And if it is worth while for me also to make the journey, they shall go as my companions.

5 I shall come to you after passing through Macedonia; for my plan will be to pass through Macedonia;

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.

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.

8 I shall remain in Ephesus, however, until the time of the Harvest Festival,

9 for a wide door stands open before me which demands great efforts, and we have many opponents.

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.

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.

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.

13 Be on the alert; stand firm in the faith; acquit yourselves like men; be strong.

New International Version NIV

3 Then, when I arrive, I will give letters of introduction to the men you approve and send them with your gift to Jerusalem.

4 If it seems advisable for me to go also, they will accompany me.

5 After I go through Macedonia, I will come to you—for I will be going through Macedonia.

6 Perhaps I will stay with you for a while, or even spend the winter, so that you can help me on my journey, wherever I go.

7 For I do not want to see you now and make only a passing visit; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.

8 But I will stay on at Ephesus until Pentecost,

9 because a great door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many who oppose me.

10 When Timothy comes, see to it that he has nothing to fear while he is with you, for he is carrying on the work of the Lord, just as I am.

11 No one, then, should treat him with contempt. Send him on his way in peace so that he may return to me. I am expecting him along with the brothers.

12 Now about our brother Apollos: I strongly urged him to go to you with the brothers. He was quite unwilling to go now, but he will go when he has the opportunity.

13 Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.
