1 Corinthians 16

1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I commanded the churches of Galatia, you do likewise.

Of the gadderynge for the saynctes as I have ordeyned in the congregacios of Galacia even so do ye.

2 On the first day of the week, let each one of you save, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come.

Vpon some sondaye let every one of you put a syde at home and laye vp what soever he thinketh mete that ther be no gaderinges when I come.

3 When I arrive, I will send whoever you approve with letters to carry your gracious gift to Jerusalem.

When I am come whosoever ye shall alowe by youre letters them will I sende to bringe youre liberalite vnto Ierusalem.

4 If it is appropriate for me to go also, they will go with me.

And yf it be mete yt I goo they shall go with me.

5 But I will come to you when I have passed through Macedonia, for I am passing through Macedonia.

I will come vnto you after I have gone over Macedonia. For I will goo thorowout Macedonia.

6 But with you it may be that I will stay, or even winter, that you may send me on my journey wherever I go.

With you paraveture I wyll abyde awhyle: or els winter that ye maye brynge me on my waye whyther soever I goo.

7 For I do not wish to see you now in passing, but I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits.

I will not se you now in my passage: but I trust to abyde a whyle with you yf God shall suffre me.

8 But I will stay at Ephesus until Pentecost,

I will tary at Ephesus untyll whit sontyde.

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

For a greate dore and a frutefull is opened vnto me: and ther are many adversaries.

10 Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear, for he does the work of the Lord, as I also do.

If Timotheus come se yt he be with out feare with you. For he worketh the worke of the Lorde as I doo.

11 Therefore let no one despise him. But set him forward on his journey in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brothers.

Let no man despyse him: but convaye him forthe in peace yt he maye come vnto me. For I loke for him with the brethre.

12 Now concerning Apollos, the brother, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers; and it was not at all his desire to come now; but he will come when he has an opportunity.

To speake of brother Apollo: I greatly desyred him to come vnto you with ye brethren but his mynde was not at all to come at this tyme. How be it he will come when he shall have conveniet tyme.

13 Watch. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong.

Watche ye stonde fast in the fayth auyte you lyke men and be stronge.

14 Let all that you do be done in love.

Let all youre busynes be done in love.

15 Now I appeal to you, brothers (you know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have set themselves to serve the saints),

Brethren (ye knowe the housse of Stephana how yt they are the fyrst frutes of Achaia and that they have appoynted them selves to minister vnto the saynctes)

16 that you also be in subjection to such, and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.

I beseche you yt ye be obedient vnto soche and to all that helpe and laboure.

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

I am gladde of the comynge of Stephana Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lackinge on youre parte they have supplied.

18 For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge those who are like that.

They have comforted my sprete and youres. Loke therfore that ye knowe them that are soche.

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

The congregacions of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you moche in the Lorde and so doeth the congregacio that is in their housse.

20 All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

All the brethren grete you. Grete ye one another with an holy kysse.

21 This greeting is by me, Paul, with my own hand.

The salutacion of me Paul with myne awne hande.

22 If anyone does not love the Lord, a curse be on him. Our Lord, come.

Yf eny man love not the Lorde Iesus Christ the same be anathema maranatha.

23 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.

The grace of ye Lorde Iesus Christ be with you all.

24 My love to all of you in Christ Jesus.

My love be with you all in Christ Iesu. Ame
