1 Corinthians 16:5-24

I will come to you after I pass through Macedonia   #— #for I will be traveling through Macedonia #— # and perhaps I will remain with you or even spend the winter, so that you may send me on my way wherever I go. I don’t want to see you now just in passing, since I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord allows.  But I will stay in Ephesus  until Pentecost,  because a wide door  for effective ministry has opened for me   #— #yet many oppose me. If Timothy comes, see that he has nothing to fear while with you, because he is doing the Lord’s work,  just as I am. So let no one look down  on him. Send him on his way in peace so that he can come to me, because I am expecting him with the brothers. Now about our brother Apollos:  I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers, but he was not at all willing to come now. However, he will come when he has an opportunity. Be alert, stand firm in the faith,  be courageous,  be strong. Do everything in love.  Brothers and sisters, you know the household of Stephanas: They are the firstfruits  of Achaia  and have devoted themselves to serving the saints. I urge you also to submit to such people, and to everyone who works and labors with them. I am delighted to have Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus present, because these men have made up for your absence. For they have refreshed my spirit  and yours. Therefore recognize  such people. The churches of Asia  send you greetings.  Aquila and Priscilla  send you greetings warmly in the Lord, along with the church that meets in their home.  All the brothers and sisters send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.  This greeting is in my own hand   #— #Paul. If anyone does not love the Lord, a curse be on him. Our Lord, come!  The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.  My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus.
