1 Corinthians 16:1-9 ▼

1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I directed the assemblies of Galatia, so do ye do also.

2 On [the] first of [the] week let each of you put by at home, laying up [in] whatever [degree] he may have prospered, that there may be no collections when I come.

3 And when I am arrived, whomsoever ye shall approve, these I will send with letters to carry your bounty to Jerusalem:

4 and if it be suitable that I also should go, they shall go with me.

5 But I will come to you when I shall have gone through Macedonia; for I do go through Macedonia.

6 But perhaps I will stay with you, or even winter with you, that ye may set me forward wheresoever I may go.

7 For I will not see you now in passing, for I hope to remain a certain time with you, if the Lord permit.

8 But I remain in Ephesus until Pentecost.

9 For a great door is opened to me and an effectual [one], and [the] adversaries many.
