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.

Collecte voor de gelovigen
16 Nu iets over de collecte voor de gelovigen. Doe hetzelfde als wat ik tegen de gemeenten in Galatië gezegd heb: 2 leg steeds op de eerste dag van de week iets apart. Kijk zelf hoeveel je kan missen en bewaar dat goed. Dan is het niet nodig om nog gauw wat bij elkaar te zoeken, als ik kom. 3 Als ik dan bij jullie ben, kiezen jullie mensen uit die jullie geschenk naar Jeruzalem zullen brengen. Ik zal brieven aan hen meegeven. Daarin zal ik uitleggen wie zij zijn en wat de bedoeling is. 4 Maar als het nodig is dat ik zelf óók naar Jeruzalem ga, kunnen zij met mij meereizen.
5 Ik wil nu eerst Macedonië doorreizen. Ik ben van plan daarna naar jullie toe te komen. 6 Ik zal dan proberen om wat langer bij jullie te blijven. Misschien wel de hele winter. Dan kunnen jullie mij daarna op weg helpen wanneer ik verder reis. 7 Want ik wil jullie dit keer wat langer bezoeken, en niet alleen op doorreis. Tenminste, als de Heer dat goed vindt. 8 Maar tot Pinksteren ben ik nog in Efeze. 9 Want de Heer heeft mij daar grote mogelijkheden gegeven voor het vertellen van het goede nieuws. Hij heeft daar als het ware de deur wijd open gezet. Maar er zijn ook veel mensen die mij tegenwerken.
10 Als Timoteüs bij jullie komt, zorg er dan voor dat hij zich bij jullie welkom voelt. Want hij doet hetzelfde werk voor de Heer als ik. 11 Behandel hem niet alsof hij niet meetelt omdat hij nog jong is. Help hem in vrede verder, zodat hij naar mij toe kan komen. Want ik wacht met de broeders op hem.
12 Wat betreft Apollos: ik heb hem al een paar keer gevraagd met een aantal broeders naar jullie toe te gaan, maar het kwam hem nu niet uit. Maar hij zal komen zodra hij kan.
Slot
13 Let goed op jezelf. Sta stevig in het geloof. Wees volwassen en sterk! 14 Doe alles vol liefde voor elkaar.
15 Ik wil jullie nog iets vragen. Jullie weten dat het gezin van Stefanas het eerste gezin was dat in Achaje in Jezus ging geloven. Daarna zijn zij de andere gelovigen gaan dienen. 16 Ik wil graag dat jullie je door mensen als Stefanas laten leiden. Ook door de andere mensen die met hen voor de Heer werken. 17 Ik ben erg blij dat Stefanas, Fortunatus en Achaïkus zijn gekomen. Nu mis ik jullie niet meer zo erg. 18 Ze hebben me blij gemaakt en bemoedigd, net zoals ze bij jullie gedaan hebben. Laat je dus door zulke mensen leiden.
19 Jullie moeten de groeten hebben van de gemeenten in Asia (= Turkije). Jullie krijgen ook de hartelijke groeten in de Heer van Aquila en Priscilla en van de gemeenten die bij hen in huis samenkomen. Jullie krijgen de groeten van alle broeders en zusters. 20 Groet elkaar met een heilige kus.
21 Ook ik, Paulus, schrijf jullie zelf een groet.[a] 22 Als iemand niet van de Heer houdt, is hij vervloekt. Jezus komt! 23 Ik bid dat de Heer Jezus in alles goed voor jullie zal zijn. 24 Ik houd van jullie allemaal die bij Jezus Christus horen.

Първо Коринтяни 16
Bulgarian Bible
16 А колкото за събирането на милостинята за светиите, правете и вие както наредих в галатийските църкви.
2 В първия ден на седмицата всеки от вас да отделя според успеха на работите си, и да го има при себе си, за да не стават събирания, когато дойда.
3 И когато дойда, ще изпратя с писма ония, които ще одобрите, да отнесат подаръка ви в Ерусалим;
4 и ако заслужавам да отида и аз, те ще отидат с мене.
5 Защото ще дойда при вас след като мина през Македония; (понеже през Македония минавам);
6 а може би да поостана при вас, или даже и да презимувам, за да ме изпратите вие на където отида.
7 Защото не ми се иска да ви видя сега на заминаване; но надявам се да остана при вас известно време, ако позволи Господ.
8 А ще се бавя в Ефелс до Петдесетницата,
9 защото ми се отвориха големи врата за работа, има и много противници.
10 Ако дойде Тимотей, внимавайте да бъде без страх между вас; защото и той работи Господното дело както и аз;
11 затова, никой да не го презира. Но изпратете го с мир да дойде при мен, защото го очаквам с братята.
12 А колкото за брат Апостола, много му се молих да дойде при вас с братята; но никак не му се искаше да дойде сега; ще дойде, обаче, когато намери случай.
13 Бдете, стойте твърдо във вярата си, бъдете мъжествени, укрепявайте се.
14 Всичко у вас да става с любов.
15 Още ви моля, братя: вие знаете, че Стефаниновото семейство е първият плод на Ахаия, и че те са посветили себе си да служат на светиите;
16 добре, на такива да се подчинявате и вие, и на всеки, който помага в делото и се труди.
17 Радвам се за дохождането на Стефанина, на Фортуната и на Ахаика, защото те запълниха лишението ми от власт;
18 понеже успокоиха моя дух и вашия, затова признавайте такива човеци.
19 Поздравяват ви църквите, които са в Азия. Нарочно ви поздравяват в Господа Акила и Прискила с домашната си църква.
20 Поздравяват ви всички братя. Поздравете се един друг със света целувка.
21 Поздравът пиша аз, Павел, със собствената си ръка.
22 Който не люби Господа да бъде проклет. Господ наш иде.
23 Благодатта на Господа Исуса Христа да бъде с вас.
24 Любовта ми да бъде с всички вас в Христа Исуса. Амин.
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.
