1 Corinthians 16

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 Now I want to deal with the offering of money for God's people. Do what I told the churches in Galatia to do.

2 On the first day of every week, each of you should put some money away. The amount should be in keeping with how much money you make. Save the money so that you won't have to take up an offering when I come.

3 When I arrive, I will send some people with your gift to Jerusalem. They will be people you consider to be good. And I will give them letters that explain who they are.

4 If it seems good for me to go also, they will go with me.

5 After I go through Macedonia, I will come to you. I will only be passing through Macedonia.

6 But I might stay with you for a while. I might even spend the winter. Then you can help me on my journey everywhere I go.

7 I don't want to see you now while I am just passing through. I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord allows it.

8 But I will stay at Ephesus until the day of Pentecost.

9 A door has opened wide for me to do some good work here. There are many people who oppose me.

10 Timothy might come to you. Make sure he has nothing to worry about while he is with you. He is doing the work of the Lord, just as I am.

11 No one should refuse to accept him. Send him safely on his way so he can return to me. I'm expecting him to come back along with the others.

12 I want to say something about our brother Apollos. I tried my best to get him to go to you with the others. But he didn't want to go right now. He will go when he can.

13 Be on your guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be brave. Be strong.

14 Be loving in everything you do.

15 You know that the first believers in Achaia were from the family of Stephanas. They have spent all their time serving God's people. Brothers and sisters, I am asking you

16 to follow the lead of people like them. Follow everyone who joins in the task and works hard at it.

17 I was glad when Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus arrived. They have supplied me with what you couldn't give me.

18 They renewed my spirit, and yours also. People like that are worthy of honor.

19 The churches in Asia Minor send you greetings. Aquila and Priscilla greet you warmly because of the Lord's love. So does the church that meets in their house.

20 All the brothers and sisters here send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

21 I, Paul, am writing this greeting with my own hand.

22 If anyone does not love the Lord, let a curse be on that person! Come, Lord!

23 May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.

24 I give my love to all of you who belong to Christ Jesus. Amen.

1 But of the gathering of money that be made into saints [Forsooth of the collects, or gatherings of money, that be made into saints], as I have ordained in the churches of Galatia, so also do ye

2 one day of the week. Each of you keep at himself [Each of you keep, or lay up, at himself], keeping that that pleaseth to him(self), that when I come, the gatherings be not made.

3 And when I shall be present, which men ye approve, I shall send them by epistles to bear your grace into Jerusalem. [Forsooth when I shall be present, whom ye shall prove by epistles, them I shall send to perfectly bear your grace into Jerusalem.]

4 That if it be worthy that also I go, they shall go with me.

5 But I shall come to you, when I shall pass by Macedonia; for why I shall pass by Macedonia.

6 But peradventure I shall dwell at you, or also dwell the winter, that ye lead me whither ever I shall go.

7 And I will not now see you in my passing [Soothly I will not now see you in passing], for I hope to dwell with you a while, if the Lord shall suffer.

8 But I shall dwell at Ephesus, unto Whitsuntide [till Whitsuntide].

9 For a great door and an open is opened to me [For why a great door and evident, or open, is opened to me], and many adversaries.

10 And if Timothy come, see ye that he be without dread with you, for he worketh the work of the Lord, as [and] I.

11 Therefore no man despise him; but lead him forth in peace, that he come to me; for I abide him with brethren.

12 But, brethren, I make known to you of Apollos, that I prayed him much, that he should come to you, with brethren. But it was not his will to come now; but he shall come, when he shall have leisure.

13 Walk ye, and stand ye in the faith; do ye manly, and be ye comforted in the Lord, [Wake ye, and stand ye in the faith; do ye manly, and be comforted in the Lord,]

14 and be all your things done in charity.

15 And, brethren, I beseech you, ye know the house of Stephanas, and of Fortunatus, and Achaicus, for they be the first fruits of Achaia, and into ministry of saints they have ordained themselves;

16 that also ye be subjects to such, and to each working together and travailing.

17 For I have joy in the presence of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for they filled that thing that failed to you [for they full-filled that thing that failed to you];

18 for they have refreshed both my spirit and yours. Therefore know ye them, that be such manner men.

19 All the churches of Asia greet you well. Aquila and Priscilla, with their home-church, greet you much in the Lord, at the which also I am harboured [Aquila and Priscilla greet you much in the Lord, at whom I am harboured, with their home-church].

20 All brethren greet you well. Greet ye well together in holy kiss.

21 My greeting by Paul's hand.

22 If any man loveth not our Lord Jesus Christ, be he cursed, Maranatha. [If any man love not our Lord Jesus Christ, be he cursed, Maranatha, that is, in the coming of the Lord.]

23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

24 My charity be with you all in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.
