1 Corinthians 15 : 57 - 16 : 8
Chapter 15
| 57 | But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
|
| 58 | Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
|
Chapter 16
| 1 | Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given orders to the churches of Galatia, so you must do also:
|
| 2 | On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper, that there be no collections when I come.
|
| 3 | And when I come, whomever you approve by your letters I will send to bear your gift to Jerusalem.
|
| 4 | But if it is fitting that I go also, they will go with me.
|
| 5 | Now I will come to you when I pass through Macedonia (for I am passing through Macedonia).
|
| 6 | And it may be that I will remain, or even spend the winter with you, that you may send me on my journey, wherever I go.
|
| 7 | For I do not wish to see you now on the way; but I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits.
|
| 8 | But I will tarry in Ephesus until Pentecost.
|
The grace of God the Father be with you all.
Amen.
