16:1       {1Co 16:1-3, Acts 24:17, Romans 15:27, 2 Corinthians 8, 9, Gal 2:10.}       Now concerning the collection, the one ^*for the holy-ones, just-like I commanded to the congregations^* of Galatia, so you^° also, practice^° such!

16:2 Every first day of the week, let each of you^° place beside himself, storing up what things, if he may be prospered in anything, in-order-that whenever I come, no collections may happen then.

16:3 Now whenever I come^*, I will be sending these, whomever you^° approve through letters, to carry your^° favor away to Jerusalem;

16:4 and if it is also worthy for me to travel there, they will be traveling together-with me.

16:5 But I will be coming to you^°, whenever I go through Macedonia, for^* I am going through Macedonia.

16:6 Now I have obtained passage to you^°, I will be remaining or even will be wintering with you^°, in-order-that you^° may send me onward to wherever I may travel.

16:7 For^* I do not wish to see you^° now on the way, but I am hoping to remain with you^° some time, if the Lord permits^*.

16:8 But I will be remaining in Ephesus until the Pentecost,

16:9 for^* a great and effective door has opened to me and many are laying in opposition to me.      

16:10 Now if Timothy comes, see^° to it in-order-that he may become fearless toward you^°; for^* he is working the work of the Lord, as I also am.

16:11 Therefore, do not let anyone scorn him. But send^° him onward in peace, in-order-that he should come to me, for^* I am waiting for him with the brethren.

16:12 Now concerning Apollos the brother, I encouraged him many times in-order-that he should come to you^° with the brethren and it was certainly not his will in-order-that he should come now, but he will be coming whenever he should have an opportunity.      

16:13 Watch^°. Stand-firm^° in the faith. Be^° manly. Be^° powerful.

16:14 Let all your^° things happen in love^*.      

16:15 Now you^° know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruit of Achaia and that they have appointed themselves into the service ^*for the holy-ones. I encourage you^° brethren,

16:16 in-order-that you^° may also be subject to such people and to everyone working together-with us and laboring with them.

16:17 Now I am rejoicing upon the presence of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because these fulfilled your^° lack,

16:18 for^* they gave-rest to my spirit and yours^°. Therefore, recognize^° such people.      

16:19 The congregations^* of Asia greet you^°. Aquila and Priscilla greet you^° much in the Lord, together-with the congregation^* in their house.

16:20 All the brethren greet you^°. Greet^° one another with^* a holy kiss.      

16:21 The greeting from Paul with my own hand.

16:22 If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. The Lord-has-come!

16:23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is with you^°.

16:24 My love^* is with all of you^° in Christ Jesus. Amen.       {NOTES: Please read the Preface and other non-bible sections. * is our universal footnoting for words contained in the ‘Definitions’ section.
