1 Corinthians 16:1-9 ▼

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

2 On the first day of the sabbaths, let each one of you lay by him, treasuring it up, as he may prosper, that no collections be made, when I come.

3 And, when I arrive, whomsoever ye may approve, the same will I send with letters to carry your bounty to Jerusalem;

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

5 And I will come to you, when I shall have passed through Macedonia; for I pass through Macedonia:

6 and it may be that I will remain, or even winter with you , that you may send me forward, wherever I may go.

7 For I do not wish to see you now in passing; for I hope to remain sometime with you, if the Lord permit.

8 But I will remain at Ephesus until the Pentecost;

9 for a door, great and effectual, has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
