Reading 1 Corinthians chapter 16 in the World English Bible, public-domain text from 2000.

Verses 1–10

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

8 But I will stay at Ephesus until Pentecost,

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