1 Corinzi 16
La Nuova Diodati
16 Ora, quanto alla colletta che si fa per i santi, fate anche voi come ho ordinato alle chiese della Galazia.
2 Ogni primo giorno della settimana, ciascuno metta da parte per conto suo ciò che può in base alle sue entrate, affinché non si facciano piú collette quando verrò.
3 Quando poi sarò giunto, io manderò con delle lettere coloro che voi avrete approvato per portare il vostro generoso dono a Gerusalemme.
4 E se converrà che ci vada io stesso, essi verranno con me.
5 Or verrò da voi, dopo che sarò passato per la Macedonia, perché attraverserò la Macedonia.
6 E forse mi tratterrò presso di voi, o vi passerò addirittura l'inverno, affinché mi facciate proseguire per ogni dove possa andare.
7 Questa volta infatti non voglio vedervi solo di passaggio, ma spero di rimanere un po' di tempo presso di voi, se il Signore lo permette.
8 Or io resterò in Efeso fino a Pentecoste
9 perché mi si è aperta una porta grande ed efficace e vi sono molti avversari.
10 Ora, se viene Timoteo, fate in modo che rimanga con voi senza timore, perché si adopera nell'opera del Signore, come faccio io stesso.
11 Nessuno dunque lo disprezzi, ma fatelo proseguire in pace per venire da me, perché lo aspetto con i fratelli.
12 Ora quanto al fratello Apollo, l'ho molto pregato di venire da voi con i fratelli, ma egli non ha voluto assolutamente venire ora; però verrà quando ne avrà l'opportunità.
13 Vegliate, state fermi nella fede, comportatevi virilmente, siate forti.
14 Tutte le cose che fate, fatele con amore.
15 Ora, fratelli (voi conoscete la famiglia di Stefana e sapete che è primizia dell'Acaia, e che si sono dedicati al servizio dei santi),
16 vi esorto a sottomettervi anche voi a tali persone e a chiunque si adopera e si affatica nell'opera comune.
17 Or io mi rallegro della venuta di Stefana, di Fortunato e di Acaico, poiché essi hanno supplito alla vostra assenza.
18 perché hanno ricreato il mio spirito e il vostro; riconoscete dunque tali persone.
19 Le chiese dell'Asia vi salutano Aquila e Priscilla, insieme alla chiesa che è in casa loro, vi salutano molto nel Signore.
20 Tutti i fratelli vi salutano; salutatevi gli uni gli altri con un santo bacio.
21 Il saluto è di mia propria mano, di me, Paolo,
22 Se qualcuno non ama il Signor Gesú Cristo, sia anatema! Maran-atha. cioè: Il Signore viene.
23 La grazia del Signore Gesú Cristo sia con voi.
24 Il mio amore sia con tutti voi in Cristo Gesú. Amen.
1 Corinthians 16
King James Version
16 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.
2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.
3 And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.
4 And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.
5 Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.
6 And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go.
7 For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.
8 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
9 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.
10 Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do.
11 Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come unto me: for I look for him with the brethren.
12 As touching our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come unto you with the brethren: but his will was not at all to come at this time; but he will come when he shall have convenient time.
13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
14 Let all your things be done with charity.
15 I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,)
16 That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth.
17 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.
18 For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.
19 The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.
20 All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.
21 The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.
22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.
23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
1 Corinthians 16
English Standard Version
The Collection for the Saints
16 Now concerning[a] (A)the collection for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also are to do. 2 On (B)the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, (C)as he may prosper, (D)so that there will be no collecting when I come. 3 And when I arrive, I will send (E)those whom you accredit by letter to carry your gift to Jerusalem. 4 If it seems advisable that I should go also, they will accompany me.
Plans for Travel
5 (F)I will visit you after passing through (G)Macedonia, for (H)I intend to pass through Macedonia, 6 and perhaps I will stay with you or even spend the winter, so that you may (I)help me on my journey, wherever I go. 7 For I do not want to see you now (J)just in passing. I hope to spend some time with you, (K)if the Lord permits. 8 But I will stay in Ephesus until (L)Pentecost, 9 for (M)a wide door for effective work has opened to me, and (N)there are many adversaries.
10 (O)When Timothy comes, see that you put him at ease among you, for (P)he is doing (Q)the work of the Lord, as I am. 11 So (R)let no one despise him. (S)Help him on his way (T)in peace, that he may return to me, for I am expecting him with the brothers.
Final Instructions
12 Now concerning (U)our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to visit you with the other brothers, but it was not at all his will[b] to come now. He will come when he has opportunity.
13 (V)Be watchful, (W)stand firm in the faith, (X)act like men, (Y)be strong. 14 (Z)Let all that you do be done in love.
15 Now I urge you, brothers[c]—you know that (AA)the household[d] of Stephanas were (AB)the first converts[e] in Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves (AC)to the service of the saints— 16 (AD)be subject to such as these, and to every fellow worker and laborer. 17 I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they have made up for (AE)your absence, 18 for they (AF)refreshed my spirit as well as yours. (AG)Give recognition to such people.
Greetings
19 The churches of Asia send you greetings. (AH)Aquila and Prisca, together with (AI)the church in their house, send you hearty greetings in the Lord. 20 All the brothers send you greetings. (AJ)Greet one another with a holy kiss.
21 I, Paul, write (AK)this greeting with my own hand. 22 If anyone has no love for the Lord, let him be (AL)accursed. Our Lord, come![f] 23 (AM)The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you. 24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
