16:1  And concerning the collection that `is' for the saints, as I directed to the assemblies of Galatia, so also ye -- do ye;

16:2  on every first `day' of the week, let each one of you lay by him, treasuring up whatever he may have prospered, that when I may come then collections may not be made;

16:3  and whenever I may come, whomsoever ye may approve, through letters, these I will send to carry your favour to Jerusalem;

16:4  and if it be meet for me also to go, with me they shall go.

16:5  And I will come unto you, when I pass through Macedonia -- for Macedonia I do pass through --

16:6  and with you, it may be, I will abide, or even winter, that ye may send me forward whithersoever I go,

16:7  for I do not wish to see you now in the passing, but I hope to remain a certain time with you, if the Lord may permit;

16:8  and I will remain in Ephesus till the Pentecost,

16:9  for a door to me hath been opened -- great and effectual -- and withstanders `are' many.

16:10  And if Timotheus may come, see that he may become without fear with you, for the work of the Lord he doth work, even as I,

16:11  no one, then, may despise him; and send ye him forward in peace, that he may come to me, for I expect him with the brethren;

16:12  and concerning Apollos our brother, much I did entreat him that he may come unto you with the brethren, and it was not at all `his' will that he may come now, and he will come when he may find convenient.

16:13  Watch ye, stand in the faith; be men, be strong;

16:14  let all your things be done in love.

16:15  And I entreat you, brethren, ye have known the household of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruit of Achaia, and to the ministration to the saints they did set themselves --

16:16  that ye also be subject to such, and to every one who is working with `us' and labouring;

16:17  and I rejoice over the presence of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, because the lack of you did these fill up;

16:18  for they did refresh my spirit and yours; acknowledge ye, therefore, those who `are' such.

16:19  Salute you do the assemblies of Asia; salute you much in the Lord do Aquilas and Priscilla, with the assembly in their house;

16:20  salute you do all the brethren; salute ye one another in an holy kiss.

16:21  The salutation of `me' Paul with my hand;

16:22  if any one doth not love the Lord Jesus Christ -- let him be anathema! The Lord hath come!

16:23  The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ `is' with you;

16:24  my love `is' with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
