哥林多前书 16
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
捐钱给圣徒的事
16 关于捐献给圣徒的事，从前我怎样吩咐加拉太的众教会，你们也要照着去行。 2 每逢七日的第一日，你们各人要按着自己的收入抽一些出来留着，免得我来的时候才现凑。 3 我来到之后，你们选中了甚么人，我就派他们带着书信，把你们的捐款送到耶路撒冷去。 4 如果我也应该去，他们就可以和我一同去。
保罗的行程
5 我现在正要路过马其顿。过了马其顿，我就会到你们那里去。 6 我也许会和你们同住一些时候，甚至和你们一同过冬；这样，我无论要到哪里去，你们都可以给我送行。 7 我不愿意只是顺路见见你们，主若许可，我盼望和你们同住一个时期。 8 不过我要在以弗所住到五旬节， 9 因为这里有又宽大又有果效的门为我开了，同时反对的人也很多。
10 如果提摩太来了，你们务要使他在你们那里不会惧怕，因为他像我一样是作主的工作的。 11 所以，谁也不要小看他。你们要送他平平安安地前行，使他到我这里来，因为我正在等着他和弟兄们一同来。 12 至于亚波罗弟兄，我曾再三劝他要和弟兄们一同到你们那里去；但他不愿意现在就去，机会到了，他是会去的。
劝勉和问安
13 你们要警醒，要在信仰上站立得稳，要作大丈夫，要刚强。 14 你们所作的一切，都要凭爱心去作。
15 弟兄们，你们知道司提反一家人是亚该亚初结的果子，他们专心地服事圣徒。 16 我劝你们要顺服这样的人，和所有与他们一同工作一同劳苦的人。 17 司提反、福徒拿都和亚该古都来了，所以我很快乐，因为他们补上了你们的不足， 18 使我和你们的心都得着畅快。这样的人你们要敬重他们。
19 亚西亚的众教会都问候你们。亚居拉和百基拉，以及他们家里的教会在主里再三问候你们。 20 所有的弟兄都问候你们。你们要用圣洁的亲吻彼此问安。
21 我保罗亲笔问候你们。 22 如果有人不爱主，他就该受咒诅。主啊，愿你来！ 23 愿主耶稣基督的恩惠与你们同在。 24 我的爱在基督耶稣里也与你们同在。（有古卷加“阿们”。）

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.

GOD’S WORD Translation
The Collection for the People in Jerusalem
16 Now, concerning the money to be collected for God’s people ⌞in Jerusalem⌟: I want you to do as I directed the churches in Galatia. 2 Every Sunday each of you should set aside some of your money and save it. Then money won’t have to be collected when I come. 3 When I come, I will give letters of introduction to the people whom you choose. You can send your gift to Jerusalem with them. 4 If I think it’s worthwhile for me to go, they can go with me.
Paul’s Plans
5 After I go through the province of Macedonia, I’ll visit you. (I will be going through Macedonia.) 6 I’ll probably stay with you. I might even spend the winter. Then you can give me your support as I travel, wherever I decide to go. 7 Right now all I could do is visit you briefly, but if the Lord lets me, I hope to spend some time with you. 8 I will be staying here in Ephesus until Pentecost. 9 I have a great opportunity to do effective work here, although there are many people who oppose me.
News about Timothy, Apollos, and Others
10 If Timothy comes, make sure that he doesn’t have anything to be afraid of while he is with you. He’s doing the Lord’s work as I am, 11 so no one should treat him with contempt. Without quarreling, give him your support for his trip so that he may come to me. I’m expecting him to arrive with the other Christians.
12 Concerning Apollos, our brother in the Christian faith: I tried hard to get him to visit you with the other Christians. He didn’t want to at this time. However, he will visit you when he has an opportunity.
13 Be alert. Be firm in the Christian faith. Be courageous and strong. 14 Do everything with love.
15 You know that the family of Stephanas was the first family to be won ⌞for Christ⌟ in Greece. This family has devoted itself to serving God’s people. So I encourage you, brothers and sisters, 16 to follow the example of people like these and anyone else who shares their labor and hard work. 17 I am glad that Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus came here. They have made up for your absence. 18 They have comforted me, and they have comforted you. Therefore, show people like these your appreciation.
Greetings
19 The churches in the province of Asia greet you. Aquila and Prisca and the church that meets in their house send their warmest Christian greetings. 20 All the brothers and sisters ⌞here⌟ greet you. Greet each other with a holy kiss. 21 I, Paul, am writing this greeting with my own hand.
22 If anyone doesn’t love the Lord, let him be cursed! Our Lord, come!
23 May the good will [a] of the Lord Jesus be with you. 24 Through Christ Jesus my love is with all of you.
