1 Corinthians 16
24 verses
Concerning the collection for the saints in Jerusalem, Paul instructs them to set aside and store up on the first day of each week in proportion to what each has earned, so that no collections need be made when he arrives. Timothy will come to them as Paul's representative in the work of the Lord; let no one despise him but send him on his way in peace to rejoin Paul. Apollos strongly resisted coming now but will come when opportunity arises. Paul urges them to be watchful, to stand firm in the faith, to be courageous and strong, and to let all they do be done in love. The household of Stephanas has devoted themselves to the service of the saints as the firstfruits of Achaia, and Paul appeals to them to be subject to such as these and to every fellow worker and laborer. With Maranatha—our Lord, come!—Paul pronounces his benediction: the grace of the Lord Jesus be with you, and my love to all of you in Christ Jesus.
