Chapter 16

Instructions and Greetings

1 Now concerning athe collection for bthe saints, as cI directed the churches of dGalatia, so do you also.

2 On athe first day of every week each one of you is to 1put aside and save, as he may prosper, so that bno collections be made when I come.

3 When I arrive, awhomever you may approve, I will send them with letters to carry your gift to Jerusalem;

4 and if it is fitting for me to go also, they will go with me.

5 But I awill come to you after I go through bMacedonia, for I cam going through Macedonia;

6 and perhaps I will stay with you, or even spend the winter, so that you may asend me on my way wherever I may go.

7 For I do not wish to see you now ajust in passing; for I hope to remain with you for some time, bif the Lord permits.

8 But I will remain in aEphesus until bPentecost;

9 for a awide door 1for effective service has opened to me, and bthere are many adversaries.

10 Now if aTimothy comes, see that he is with you without 1cause to be afraid, for he is doing bthe Lord’s work, as I also am.

11 aSo let no one despise him. But bsend him on his way cin peace, so that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren.

12 But concerning aApollos our brother, I encouraged him greatly to come to you with the brethren; and it was not at all his desire to come now, but he will come when he has opportunity.

13 aBe on the alert, bstand firm in the faith, cact like men, dbe strong.

14 Let all that you do be done ain love.

15 Now I urge you, brethren (you know the ahousehold of Stephanas, that 1they were the bfirst fruits of cAchaia, and that they have devoted themselves for dministry to ethe saints),

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

17 I rejoice over the 1acoming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they have 2supplied bwhat was lacking on your part.

18 For they ahave refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore backnowledge such men.

19 The churches of aAsia greet you. bAquila and Prisca greet you heartily in the Lord, with cthe church that is in their house.

20 All the brethren greet you. aGreet one another with a holy kiss.

21 The greeting is in amy own hand—1Paul.

22 If anyone does not love the Lord, he is to be 1aaccursed. 2bMaranatha.

23 aThe grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.

24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

About New American Standard Bible: 1995 Update

The New American Standard Bible, long considered a favorite study Bible by serious students of the Scriptures, has been completely revised and updated in this new 1995 translation. Preserving the Lockman Foundation's standard of creating a literal translation of the original Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic manuscripts, the 1995 NASB provides a literal translation that is very readable. Formalized language and outdated words and phrases have been replaced with their contemporary counterparts. In short, the 1995 NASB is a Bible translation that is very conducive to word-by-word study and is also able to be read (and understood) by the whole family.
