1 Corintios 16
Nueva Versión Internacional
La colecta para el pueblo de Dios
16 En cuanto a la colecta para los creyentes, sigan las instrucciones que di a las iglesias de Galacia. 2 El primer día de la semana, cada uno de ustedes aparte y guarde algún dinero conforme a sus ingresos, para que no se tengan que hacer colectas cuando yo vaya. 3 Luego, cuando llegue, daré cartas de presentación a los que ustedes hayan aprobado y los enviaré a Jerusalén con los donativos que hayan recogido. 4 Si conviene que yo también vaya, iremos juntos.
Encargos personales
5 Después de pasar por Macedonia, pues tengo que atravesar esa región, iré a verlos. 6 Es posible que me quede con ustedes algún tiempo, y tal vez pase allí el invierno, para que me ayuden a seguir el viaje adondequiera que vaya. 7 Esta vez no quiero verlos solo de paso; más bien, espero permanecer algún tiempo con ustedes, si el Señor así lo permite. 8 Pero me quedaré en Éfeso hasta Pentecostés, 9 porque se me ha abierto una gran puerta para un trabajo eficaz, a pesar de que hay muchos en mi contra.
10 Si llega Timoteo, procuren que se sienta cómodo entre ustedes, porque él trabaja como yo en la obra del Señor. 11 Por tanto, que nadie lo menosprecie. Ayúdenlo a seguir su viaje en paz para que pueda volver a reunirse conmigo, pues estoy esperándolo junto con los hermanos.
12 En cuanto a nuestro hermano Apolos, le rogué encarecidamente que en compañía de otros hermanos les hiciera una visita. No quiso de ninguna manera ir ahora, pero lo hará cuando se le presente la oportunidad.
13 Manténganse alerta; permanezcan firmes en la fe; sean valientes y fuertes. 14 Hagan todo con amor.
15 Bien saben que los de la familia de Estéfanas fueron los primeros convertidos de Acaya,[a] y que se han dedicado a servir a los creyentes. Les recomiendo, hermanos, 16 que se pongan a disposición de aquellos y de todo el que colabore en este arduo trabajo. 17 Me alegré cuando llegaron Estéfanas, Fortunato y Acaico, porque ellos han suplido lo que ustedes no podían darme, 18 ya que han tranquilizado mi espíritu y también el de ustedes. Tales personas merecen que se les exprese reconocimiento.
Saludos finales
19 Las iglesias de la provincia de Asia les mandan saludos.
Aquila y Priscila los saludan cordialmente en el Señor, como también la iglesia que se reúne en la casa de ellos.
20 Todos los hermanos les mandan saludos.
Salúdense unos a otros con un beso santo.
21 Yo, Pablo, escribo este saludo de mi puño y letra.
22 Si alguno no ama al Señor, quede bajo maldición. ¡Marana ta![b]
23 Que la gracia del Señor Jesús sea con ustedes.
24 Los amo a todos ustedes en Cristo Jesús. Amén.[c]
1 Corinthians 16
New King James Version
Collection for the Saints
16 Now concerning (A)the collection for the saints, as I have given orders to the churches of Galatia, so you must do also: 2 (B)On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper, that there be no collections when I come. 3 And when I come, (C)whomever you approve by your letters I will send to bear your gift to Jerusalem. 4 (D)But if it is fitting that I go also, they will go with me.
Personal Plans(E)
5 Now I will come to you (F)when I pass through Macedonia (for I am passing through Macedonia). 6 And it may be that I will remain, or even spend the winter with you, that you may (G)send me on my journey, wherever I go. 7 For I do not wish to see you now on the way; but I hope to stay a while with you, (H)if the Lord permits.
8 But I will tarry in Ephesus until (I)Pentecost. 9 For (J)a great and effective door has opened to me, and (K)there are many adversaries.
10 And (L)if Timothy comes, see that he may be with you without fear; for (M)he does the work of the Lord, as I also do. 11 (N)Therefore let no one despise him. But send him on his journey (O)in peace, that he may come to me; for I am waiting for him with the brethren.
12 Now concerning our brother (P)Apollos, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brethren, but he was quite unwilling to come at this time; however, he will come when he has a convenient time.
Final Exhortations
13 (Q)Watch, (R)stand fast in the faith, be brave, (S)be strong. 14 (T)Let all that you do be done with love.
15 I urge you, brethren—you know (U)the household of Stephanas, that it is (V)the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to (W)the ministry of the saints— 16 (X)that you also submit to such, and to everyone who works and (Y)labors with us.
17 I am glad about the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus, (Z)for what was lacking on your part they supplied. 18 (AA)For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore (AB)acknowledge such men.
Greetings and a Solemn Farewell
19 The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you heartily in the Lord, (AC)with the church that is in their house. 20 All the brethren greet you.
(AD)Greet one another with a holy kiss.
21 (AE)The salutation with my own hand—Paul’s.
22 If anyone (AF)does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, (AG)let him be [a]accursed. (AH)O[b] Lord, come!
23 (AI)The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. 24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

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.
