3 And when I shall have arrived, whomever you? might approve, I will send these with letters to carry your? gracious gift to Jerusalem. 4 And if it may be worthy for me also to go, they will go with me. 5 But I will come to you? when I shall have gone through Macedonia, for I am going through Macedonia. 6 And perhaps I will stay with you?, or even I will winter, so that you? may send me forth wherever I may go. 7 For I do not want to see you? now in passing; for I hope to remain a certain time with you?, if the Lord might permit. 8 But I will remain in Ephesus until Pentecost. 9 For a door has opened to me, great and effective, and many are opposing. 10 Now if Timothy might come, see that he may be with you? without fear, for he works the work of the Lord, as I also. 11 Therefore no one should despise him. But send him forth in peace, so that he might come to me; for I am expecting him with the brothers. 12 Now concerning Apollos the brother, I exhorted him much that he should go to you? with the brothers, and his will was not at all that he should come now; but he will come when he shall have opportunity. 13 Be watchful; stand firm in the faith; act like men; be strong. 14 Let all your? things be done in love. 15 Now I exhort you?, brothers—you? know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruit of Achaia, and they devoted themselves to service to the saints— 16 that you? also be subject to such, and to everyone working with us and laboring. 17 Now I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because these filled up your? deficiency. 18 For they refreshed my spirit and yours?. Therefore recognize such men. 19 The churches of Asia greet you?. Aquila and Prisca, with the church at their house, greet you? much in the Lord. 20 All the brothers greet you?. Greet one another with a holy kiss. 21 The greeting is in my own hand—Paul. 22 If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be accursed. Maranatha! 23 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you?. 24 My love be with all of you? in Christ Jesus. Amen. 1 Corinthians 16:3-24, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
