Old Testament

New Testament

1 Corinthians 16:5-21 American Standard Version (ASV)

5. But I will come unto you, when I shall have passed through Macedonia; for I pass through Macedonia;

6. but with you it may be that I shall abide, or even winter, that ye may set me forward on my journey whithersoever I go.

7. For I do not wish to see you now by the way; for I hope to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.

8. But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost;

9. for a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.

10. Now if Timothy come, see that he be with you without fear; for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do:

11. let no man therefore despise him. But set him forward on his journey in peace, that he may come unto me: for I expect him with the brethren.

12. But as touching Apollos the brother, I besought him much to come unto you with the brethren: and it was not all his will to come now; but he will come when he shall have opportunity.

13. Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

14. Let all that ye do be done in love.

15. Now I beseech you, brethren (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have set themselves to minister unto the saints),

16. that ye also be in subjection unto such, and to every one that helpeth in the work and laboreth.

17. And I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they supplied.

18. For they refreshed my spirit and yours: acknowledge ye therefore them that are such.

19. The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Prisca salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.

20. All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss.

21. The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.
