Modern Literal Version

[1 Corinthians 16]


     16:1 Now concerning the collection which is *for the holy-ones, as I commanded to the congregations of Galatia, so should you* also do. 16:2 {F} Every first day of the week, let each one of you* place aside, storing up whatever he prospers in, that* whenever I come, no collections may be happening then. 16:3 And whenever I come, I will send them, (whomever you* approve), with letters to carry your* favor to Jerusalem; 16:4 and if it is also worthy for me to travel there; they will travel with me. 16:5 But I will come to you*, whenever I have gone through Macedonia; for* I do intend to go through Macedonia. 16:6 And it may be that I will remain or even winter with you*, that* you* may send me onward wherever I go. 16:7 For* I do not wish to see you* now on theway; but I am hoping to remain with you* some time, if the Lord permits. 16:8 But I will remain in Ephesus until Pentecost; 16:9 for* a great and effective door is opened to me and many lay in opposition to me.


     16:10 Now if Timothy comes, beware, that* he may be with you* without fear; for* he is working the work of the Lord, as even I do. 16:11 Therefore do not let anyone scorn him. But send him onward in peace, that* he may come to me; for* I am waiting for him with the brethren. 16:12 But concerning Apollos the brother, I encouraged him much that* he should come to you* with the brethren and it was certainly not his will that* he should come now; but he will come whenever he has an opportunity.


     16:13 You* watch, stand-firm in the faith, be manly, be powerful. 16:14 Let all that you* do be done in love*.


     16:15 Now I encourage you* brethren, (you* know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruits of Achaia and that they have appointed themselves to serve the holy-ones), 16:16 that* you* may also be subject to such ones and to everyone who is working together with us and laboring. 16:17And I rejoice upon the presence of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they fulfilled this lack of yours*. 16:18 For* they gave-rest to my spirit and yours*; therefore you* recognize themas such ones.


     16:19 The congregations of Asia greet you*. Aquila and Priscilla greet you* much in the Lord, with the congregation that is in their house. 16:20 All the brethren greet you*. Greet one another with a holy kiss.


     16:21 The greeting from me Paul with my own hand. 16:22 If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. Lord, come! Lord, come! 16:23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you*. 16:24 My love* be with you* all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
