1 Corinthians 16

The Message Bible MSG

1 Regarding the relief offering for poor Christians that is being collected, you get the same instructions I gave the churches in Galatia.

2 Every Sunday each of you make an offering and put it in safekeeping. Be as generous as you can. When I get there you'll have it ready, and I won't have to make a special appeal.

3 Then after I arrive, I'll write letters authorizing whomever you delegate, and send them off to Jerusalem to deliver your gift.

4 If you think it best that I go along, I'll be glad to travel with them.

5 I plan to visit you after passing through northern Greece. I won't be staying long there,

6 but maybe I can stay awhile with you - maybe even spend the winter? Then you could give me a good send-off, wherever I may be headed next.

7 I don't want to just drop by in between other "primary" destinations. I want a good, long, leisurely visit. If the Master agrees, we'll have it!

8 For the present, I'm staying right here in Ephesus.

9 A huge door of opportunity for good work has opened up here. (There is also mushrooming opposition.)

10 If Timothy shows up, take good care of him. Make him feel completely at home among you. He works so hard for the Master, just as I do.

11 Don't let anyone disparage him. After a while, send him on to me with your blessing. Tell him I'm expecting him, and any friends he has with him.

12 About our friend Apollos, I've done my best to get him to pay you a visit, but haven't talked him into it yet. He doesn't think this is the right time. But there will be a "right time."

13 Keep your eyes open, hold tight to your convictions, give it all you've got, be resolute,

14 and love without stopping.

15 Would you do me a favor, friends, and give special recognition to the family of Stephanas? You know, they were among the first converts in Greece, and they've put themselves out, serving Christians ever since then. I want you to

16 honor and look up to people like that: companions and workers who show us how to do it, giving us something to aspire to.

17 I want you to know how delighted I am to have Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus here with me. They partially make up for your absence!

18 They've refreshed me by keeping me in touch with you. Be proud that you have people like this among you.

19 The churches here in western Asia send greetings. Aquila, Priscilla, and the church that meets in their house say hello.

20 All the friends here say hello. Pass the greetings around with holy embraces!

21 And I, Paul - in my own handwriting! - send you my regards.

22 If anyone won't love the Master, throw him out. Make room for the Master!

23 Our Master Jesus has his arms wide open for you.

24 And I love all of you in the Messiah, in Jesus.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 de collectis autem quae fiunt in sanctos sicut ordinavi ecclesiis Galatiae ita et vos facite

2 per unam sabbati unusquisque vestrum apud se ponat recondens quod ei beneplacuerit ut non cum venero tunc collectae fiant

3 cum autem praesens fuero quos probaveritis per epistulas hos mittam perferre gratiam vestram in Hierusalem

4 quod si dignum fuerit ut et ego eam mecum ibunt

5 veniam autem ad vos cum Macedoniam pertransiero nam Macedoniam pertransibo

6 apud vos autem forsitan manebo vel etiam hiemabo ut vos me deducatis quocumque iero

7 nolo enim vos modo in transitu videre spero enim me aliquantum temporis manere apud vos si Dominus permiserit

8 permanebo autem Ephesi usque ad pentecosten

9 ostium enim mihi apertum est magnum et evidens et adversarii multi

10 si autem venerit Timotheus videte ut sine timore sit apud vos opus enim Domini operatur sicut et ego

11 ne quis ergo illum spernat deducite autem illum in pace ut veniat ad me expecto enim illum cum fratribus

12 de Apollo autem fratre multum rogavi eum ut veniret ad vos cum fratribus et utique non fuit voluntas ut nunc veniret veniet autem cum ei vacuum fuerit

13 vigilate state in fide viriliter agite et confortamini

14 omnia vestra in caritate fiant

15 obsecro autem vos fratres nostis domum Stephanae et Fortunati quoniam sunt primitiae Achaiae et in ministerium sanctorum ordinaverunt se ipsos

16 ut et vos subditi sitis eiusmodi et omni cooperanti et laboranti

17 gaudeo autem in praesentia Stephanae et Fortunati et Achaici quoniam id quod vobis deerat ipsi suppleverunt

18 refecerunt enim et meum spiritum et vestrum cognoscite ergo qui eiusmodi sunt

19 salutant vos ecclesiae Asiae salutant vos in Domino multum Aquila et Prisca cum domestica sua ecclesia

20 salutant vos fratres omnes salutate invicem in osculo sancto

21 salutatio mea manu Pauli

22 si quis non amat Dominum Iesum Christum sit anathema maranatha

23 gratia Domini Iesu vobiscum

24 caritas mea cum omnibus vobis in Christo Iesu amen
