1 Corinto 16
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
16 Ngayon tungkol sa ambagan sa mga banal, ay gawin din naman ninyong gaya ng iniutos ko sa mga iglesia ng Galacia.
2 Tuwing unang araw ng sanglinggo ang bawa't isa sa inyo ay magbukod na magsimpan, ayon sa kaniyang iginiginhawa, upang huwag nang gumawa ng mga ambagan sa pagpariyan ko.
3 At pagdating ko, ang sinomang inyong mamagalingin, ay sila ang aking susuguin na may mga sulat upang makapagdala ng inyong abuloy sa Jerusalem:
4 At kung nararapat na ako naman ay pumaroon, sila'y isasama ko.
5 Nguni't ako'y paririyan sa inyo, pagkaraan ko sa Macedonia; sapagka't magdaraan ako sa Macedonia;
6 Datapuwa't marahil ako'y matitira sa inyo o makikisama sa inyo sa taginaw, upang ako'y tulungan ninyo sa aking paglalakbay saan man ako pumaroon.
7 Sapagka't hindi ko ibig na kayo'y makita ngayon sa paglalakbay; sapagka't inaasahan kong ako'y makikisama sa inyong kaunting panahon, kung itutulot ng Panginoon.
8 Datapuwa't ako'y titigil sa Efeso hanggang sa Pentecostes;
9 Sapagka't sa akin ay nabuksan ang isang pintuang malaki at mapapakinabangan, at marami ang mga kaaway.
10 Ngayon kung dumating si Timoteo, ingatan ninyo na siya'y mapasainyo na walang pangamba; sapagka't ginagawa niya ang gawain ng Panginoon, na gaya ko rin naman:
11 Sinoman nga ay huwag humamak sa kaniya. Kundi tulungan ninyo siyang payapa sa kaniyang paglalakbay, upang siya'y makaparito sa akin: sapagka't inaasahan ko siya'y kasama ng mga kapatid.
12 Nguni't tungkol sa kapatid na si Apolos, ay ipinamanhik ko sa kaniyang malabis na siya'y pumariyan sa inyong kasama ng mga kapatid: at sa anomang paraan ay hindi niya kalooban na pumariyan ngayon; nguni't paririyan pagkakaroon niya ng panahon.
13 Magsipagingat kayo, mangagpakatibay kayo sa pananampalataya, kayo'y mangagpakalalake, kayo'y mangagpakalakas.
14 Gawin ninyo sa pagibig ang lahat ninyong ginagawa.
15 Ipinamamanhik ko nga sa inyo, mga kapatid (nalalaman ninyo na ang sangbahayan ni Estefanas ay siyang pangunahing bunga ng Acaya, at nangagsitalaga sa paglilingkod sa mga banal),
16 Na kayo'y pasakop naman sa mga gayon, at sa bawa't tumutulong sa gawa at nagpapagal.
17 At ikinagagalak ko ang pagdating ni Estefanas at ni Fortunato at ni Acaico: sapagka't ang kakulangan ninyo ay pinunan nila.
18 Sapagka't inaliw nila ang aking espiritu at ang inyo: magsikilala nga kayo sa mga gayon.
19 Binabati kayo ng mga iglesia sa Asia. Kayo'y binabating malabis sa Panginoon ni Aquila at ni Prisca pati ng iglesiang nasa kanilang bahay.
20 Binabati kayo ng lahat ng mga kapatid. Kayo'y mangagbatian ng halik na banal.
21 Ang bati ko, ni Pablo na sinulat ng aking sariling kamay.
22 Kung ang sinoman ay hindi umiibig sa Panginoon, ay maging takuwil siya. Maranatha.
23 Ang biyaya ng Panginoong Jesucristo ay sumainyo nawa.
24 Ang aking pagibig kay Cristo Jesus ay sumainyo nawang lahat. Siya nawa.
1 Corinthians 16
New English Translation
A Collection to Aid Jewish Christians
16 With regard to the collection for the saints, please follow the directions that I gave to the churches of Galatia:[a] 2 On the first day of the week, each of you should set aside some income[b] and save[c] it to the extent that God has blessed you,[d] so that a collection will not have to be made[e] when I come. 3 Then, when I arrive, I will send those whom you approve with letters of explanation to carry your gift to Jerusalem. 4 And if it seems advisable that I should go also, they will go with me.
Paul’s Plans to Visit
5 But I will come to you after I have gone through Macedonia—for I will be going through Macedonia— 6 and perhaps I will stay with you, or even spend the winter, so that you can send me on my journey, wherever I go. 7 For I do not want to see you now in passing, since I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord allows. 8 But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost, 9 because a door of great opportunity stands wide open for me,[f] but there are many opponents.
10 Now if Timothy comes, see that he has nothing to fear among you, for he is doing the Lord’s work, as I am too. 11 So then, let no one treat him with contempt. But send him on his way in peace so that he may come to me. For I am expecting him with the brothers.[g]
12 With regard to our brother Apollos: I strongly encouraged him to visit you with the other brothers,[h] but it was simply not his intention to come now.[i] He will come when he has the opportunity.
Final Challenge and Blessing
13 Stay alert, stand firm in the faith, show courage, be strong. 14 Everything you do should be done in love.
15 Now, brothers and sisters,[j] you know about the household of Stephanus, that as the first converts[k] of Achaia, they devoted themselves to ministry for the saints. I urge you 16 also to submit to people like this, and to everyone who cooperates in the work and labors hard. 17 I was glad about the arrival of Stephanus, Fortunatus, and Achaicus because they have supplied the fellowship with you that I lacked.[l] 18 For they refreshed my spirit and yours. So then, recognize people like this.
19 The churches in the province of Asia[m] send greetings to you. Aquila and Prisca[n] greet[o] you warmly in the Lord, with the church that meets in their house. 20 All the brothers and sisters[p] send greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
21 I, Paul, send this greeting with my own hand.
22 Let anyone who has no love for the Lord be accursed. Our Lord, come![q]
23 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
24 My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus.[r]
Footnotes
- 1 Corinthians 16:1 tn Grk “as I directed the churches of Galatia, so also you yourselves do.”
- 1 Corinthians 16:2 tn Grk “set aside, storing whatever he has been blessed with.”
- 1 Corinthians 16:2 tn Grk “set aside, storing.” The participle θησαυρίζων (thēsaurizōn) indicates the purpose or result of setting aside the extra income.
- 1 Corinthians 16:2 tn “To the extent that God has blessed you” translates an awkward expression, “whatever has been prospered [to you].” This verb has been translated as an active with “God” as subject, taking it as a divine passive.
- 1 Corinthians 16:2 tn Grk “so that collections will not be taking place.”
- 1 Corinthians 16:9 tn Grk “for a door has opened wide to me, great and effective.”
- 1 Corinthians 16:11 tn Since Paul appears to expect specific delegates here and they were most likely men, the Greek word ἀδελφοί (adelphoi) here has not been translated as “brothers and sisters.”
- 1 Corinthians 16:12 tn Grk “with the brothers.”
- 1 Corinthians 16:12 tn Grk “it was simply not the will that he come now.”
- 1 Corinthians 16:15 tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.
- 1 Corinthians 16:15 tn Grk “firstfruits.”
- 1 Corinthians 16:17 tn Or “they have made up for your absence” (BDAG 70 s.v. ἀναπληρόω 3).
- 1 Corinthians 16:19 tn Grk “the churches of Asia”; in the NT “Asia” always refers to the Roman province of Asia. The Roman province of Asia made up about one-third of modern Asia Minor and was on the western side of it. Asia lay to the west of the region of Phrygia and Galatia. The words “the province of” are supplied to indicate to the modern reader that this does not refer to the continent of Asia.
- 1 Corinthians 16:19 sn On Aquila and Prisca see also Acts 18:2, 18, 26; Rom 16:3-4; 2 Tim 4:19. In the NT “Priscilla” and “Prisca” are the same person. Paul uses the name Prisca, while the author of Acts uses the diminutive form of the name Priscilla.
- 1 Corinthians 16:19 tc The plural form of this verb, ἀσπάζονται (aspazontai, “[they] greet”), is found in several good mss (B F G 075 0121 0243 33 1739 1881) as well as the Byzantine cursives. But the singular is read by an equally impressive group (א C D K P Ψ 104 2464). This part of the verse is lacking in codex A. Deciding on the basis of external evidence is quite difficult. Internally, however, the singular appears to have given rise to the plural: (1) The rest of the greetings in this verse are in the plural; this one was probably made plural by some scribes for purposes of assimilation; and, more significantly, (2) since both Aquila and Prisca are mentioned as the ones who send the greeting, the plural is more natural. The singular is, of course, not impossible Greek; indeed, a singular verb with a compound subject is used with some frequency in the NT (cf. Matt 13:55; Mark 8:27; 14:1; John 2:2; 3:22; 4:36, 53; Acts 5:29; 16:31; 1 Tim 6:4). This is especially common when “Jesus and his disciples” is the subject. What is significant is that when such a construction is found the emphasis is placed on the first-named person (in this case, Aquila). Normally when these two are mentioned in the NT, Priscilla is mentioned first (Acts 18:18, 26; Rom 16:3; 2 Tim 4:19). Only here and in Acts 18:2 (the first mention of them) is Aquila mentioned before Priscilla. Many suggest that Priscilla is listed first due to prominence. Though that is possible, both the mention of Aquila first here and the singular verb give him special prominence (cf. ExSyn 401-2). What such prominence means in each instance is difficult to assess. Nevertheless, here is a Pauline instance in which Aquila is given prominence. Too much can be made of the word order argument in either direction.
- 1 Corinthians 16:20 tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.
- 1 Corinthians 16:22 tn The Greek text has μαράνα θά (marana tha). These Aramaic words can also be read as maran atha, translated “Our Lord has come!”
- 1 Corinthians 16:24 tc Although the majority of mss (א A C D Ψ 075 M lat bo) conclude this letter with ἀμήν (amēn, “amen”), such a conclusion is routinely added by scribes to NT books because a few of these books originally had such an ending (cf. Rom 16:27; Gal 6:18; Jude 25). A majority of Greek witnesses have the concluding ἀμήν in every NT book except Acts, James, and 3 John (and even in these books, ἀμήν is found in some witnesses). It is thus a predictable variant. Although far fewer witnesses lack the valedictory particle (B F 0121 0243 33 81 630 1739* 1881 sa), their collective testimony is difficult to explain if the omission is not authentic.
