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;
16:9 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;
16:15 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.
