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”。)
1 Corinthians 16
1599 Geneva Bible
16 1 He exhorteth them to help the poor brethren of Jerusalem: 10 Then he commendeth Timothy, 13 and so with a friendly exhortation, 19 and commendations, endeth the Epistle.
1 Concerning [a]the gathering for the Saints, as I have ordained in the Churches of Galatia, so do ye also.
2 Every [b]first day of the week, let every one of you put aside by himself, and lay up as God hath [c]prospered him, that then there be no gatherings when I come.
3 And when I am come, whomsoever ye shall allow by [d]letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.
4 [e]And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.
5 Now I will come unto you, after I have gone through Macedonia (for I will pass through Macedonia.)
6 And it may be that I will abide, yea, or winter with you, that ye may bring me on my way, whithersoever I go.
7 For I will not see you now in my passage, but I trust to abide a while with you, if the Lord permit.
8 And I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
9 For a great door and [f]effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.
10 ¶ Now if Timothy come, see that he be [g]without fear with you: for he worketh the work of the Lord, even as I do.
11 Let no man therefore despise him: but convey him forth [h]in peace, that he may come unto me: for I looked for him with the brethren.
12 As touching our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come unto you with the brethren: but his mind was not at all to come at this time: howbeit he will come when he shall have convenient time.
13 ¶ Watch ye: stand fast in the faith: quit you like men, and be strong.
14 Let all your things be done in love.
15 Now brethren, I beseech you (ye know the house of [i]Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have [j]given themselves to minister unto the Saints.)
16 That ye be [k]obedient even unto such, and to all that help with us and labor.
17 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus: for they have supplied the want of you.
18 For they have comforted my [l]spirit and yours: [m]acknowledge therefore such men.
19 The Churches of Asia salute you: Aquila and Priscilla with the Church that is in their house, salute you greatly in the Lord.
20 All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an (A)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 had in execration [n]maran-atha.
23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus, Amen.
The first Epistle to the Corinthians, written from Philippi, and sent by Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, and Timothy.

New Life Version
Gifts for the Poor
16 I want to tell you what to do about the money you are gathering for the Christians. Do the same as I told the churches in the country of Galatia to do. 2 On the first day of every week each of you should put aside some of your money. Give a certain part of what you have earned. Keep it there because I do not want money gathered when I come. 3 When I get there, I will give letters to the men you want to send. They will take your gift to Jerusalem. 4 If I can go, they can go with me.
Plans for a Visit
5 I want to visit you after I have gone through the country of Macedonia for I am going through there. 6 I may be staying with you and even spend the winter with you. Then you can send me on my way to the next place. 7 I do not want to stop now. I want to spend some time with you when I can stay longer, if that is what the Lord wants. 8 I will stay in the city of Ephesus until the special day to remember how the Holy Spirit came on the church. 9 A wide door has been opened to me here to preach the Good News. But there are many who work against me.
10 If Timothy comes, receive him and help him so he will not be afraid. He is working for the Lord as I am. 11 Everyone should respect him. Send him on his way to me in peace. I expect to see him and some of the other Christians soon. 12 I wanted brother Apollos to go with the other Christians to visit you. But he is not sure he should go now. He will come when he can.
13 Watch and keep awake! Stand true to the Lord. Keep on acting like men and be strong. 14 Everything you do should be done in love.
15 You know that the families of Stephanas were the first Christians in the country of Greece. They are working for the Lord in helping His people. 16 I ask you to listen to leaders like these and work with them as well as others like them. 17 I am happy that Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus came here. They have helped me and you would have also if you had been here. 18 They have made me happy. They would have made you happy also. Show them you are thankful for their help.
19 The churches in the countries of Asia say hello. Aquila and Priscilla and the Christians who meet in their house say hello with Christian love. 20 All the Christians here greet you. Greet each other with a kiss of holy love. 21 I, Paul, am writing the last part of this letter with my own hand. 22 If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be kept from being with Christ. The Lord is coming soon! 23 May you have the loving-favor of our Lord Jesus. 24 I love you all through Christ Jesus. Let it be so.
