1 Corinthians 16
Wycliffe Bible
16 But of the gathering of money that be made into saints [Forsooth of the collects, or gatherings of money, that be made into saints], as I have ordained in the churches of Galatia, so also do ye
2 one day of the week. Each of you keep at himself [Each of you keep, or lay up, at himself], keeping that that pleaseth to him(self), that when I come, the gatherings be not made.
3 And when I shall be present, which men ye approve, I shall send them by epistles to bear your grace into Jerusalem. [Forsooth when I shall be present, whom ye shall prove by epistles, them I shall send to perfectly bear your grace into Jerusalem.]
4 That if it be worthy that also I go, they shall go with me.
5 But I shall come to you, when I shall pass by Macedonia; for why I shall pass by Macedonia.
6 But peradventure I shall dwell at you, or also dwell the winter, that ye lead me whither ever I shall go.
7 And I will not now see you in my passing [Soothly I will not now see you in passing], for I hope to dwell with you a while, if the Lord shall suffer.
8 But I shall dwell at Ephesus, unto Whitsuntide [till Whitsuntide].
9 For a great door and an open is opened to me [For why a great door and evident, or open, is opened to me], and many adversaries.
10 And if Timothy come, see ye that he be without dread with you, for he worketh the work of the Lord, as [and] I.
11 Therefore no man despise him; but lead him forth in peace, that he come to me; for I abide him with brethren.
12 But, brethren, I make known to you of Apollos, that I prayed him much, that he should come to you, with brethren. But it was not his will to come now; but he shall come, when he shall have leisure.
13 Walk ye, and stand ye in the faith; do ye manly, and be ye comforted in the Lord, [Wake ye, and stand ye in the faith; do ye manly, and be comforted in the Lord,]
14 and be all your things done in charity.
15 And, brethren, I beseech you, ye know the house of Stephanas, and of Fortunatus, and Achaicus, for they be the first fruits of Achaia, and into ministry of saints they have ordained themselves;
16 that also ye be subjects to such, and to each working together and travailing.
17 For I have joy in the presence of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for they filled that thing that failed to you [for they full-filled that thing that failed to you];
18 for they have refreshed both my spirit and yours. Therefore know ye them, that be such manner men.
19 All the churches of Asia greet you well. Aquila and Priscilla, with their home-church, greet you much in the Lord, at the which also I am harboured [Aquila and Priscilla greet you much in the Lord, at whom I am harboured, with their home-church].
20 All brethren greet you well. Greet ye well together in holy kiss.
21 My greeting by Paul's hand.
22 If any man loveth not our Lord Jesus Christ, be he cursed, Maranatha. [If any man love not our Lord Jesus Christ, be he cursed, Maranatha, that is, in the coming of the Lord.]
23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
24 My charity be with you all in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.

Nueva Biblia de las Américas
Ofrenda para los cristianos de Jerusalén
16 Ahora bien, en cuanto a la ofrenda(A) para los santos(B), hagan ustedes también como instruí a las iglesias(C) de Galacia(D). 2 Que el primer día de la semana(E), cada uno de ustedes aparte[a] y guarde según haya prosperado, para que cuando yo vaya no se recojan entonces ofrendas(F).
3 Cuando yo llegue, enviaré con cartas a quienes ustedes hayan designado, para que lleven su contribución a Jerusalén(G). 4 Y si es conveniente que yo también vaya, ellos irán conmigo. 5 Iré a ustedes(H) cuando haya pasado por Macedonia(I), pues voy a pasar por Macedonia(J). 6 Y tal vez me quede con ustedes, o aun pase allí el invierno, para que me encaminen(K) adonde haya de ir.
7 Pues no deseo verlos ahora solo de paso(L), porque espero permanecer con ustedes por algún tiempo, si el Señor me lo permite(M). 8 Pero me quedaré en Éfeso(N) hasta Pentecostés(O), 9 porque se me ha abierto una puerta grande(P) para[b] el servicio eficaz, aunque también hay muchos adversarios(Q).
Recomendaciones finales
10 Si llega Timoteo(R), vean que esté entre ustedes sin temor, pues él hace la obra del Señor(S) lo mismo que yo. 11 Por tanto, nadie lo menosprecie(T). Más bien, envíenlo(U) en paz(V) para que venga a mí, porque lo espero con los hermanos. 12 En cuanto a nuestro hermano Apolos(W), mucho lo animé a que fuera a ustedes con los hermanos, pero de ninguna manera tuvo ahora el deseo de ir. Sin embargo, irá cuando tenga oportunidad.
13 Estén alerta(X), permanezcan firmes en la fe(Y), pórtense varonilmente(Z), sean fuertes(AA). 14 Todas sus cosas sean hechas con[c] amor(AB).
15 Los exhorto, hermanos (ya conocen a los de la casa de Estéfanas(AC), que fueron los primeros convertidos[d](AD) de Acaya(AE), y que se han dedicado al servicio(AF) de los santos(AG)), 16 que también ustedes estén en sujeción a los que son como ellos, y a todo el que ayuda y trabaja en la obra(AH).
17 Y me regocijo por la venida[e](AI) de Estéfanas, de Fortunato y de Acaico, pues ellos han suplido lo que faltaba(AJ) de parte de ustedes[f]. 18 Porque ellos han recreado mi espíritu(AK) y el de ustedes. Por tanto, reconozcan a tales personas(AL).
Saludos y despedida
19 Las iglesias de Asia(AM) los saludan. Aquila y Priscila(AN), con la iglesia que está en su casa(AO), los saludan muy afectuosamente[g] en el Señor. 20 Todos los hermanos los saludan. Salúdense los unos a los otros con un beso santo(AP).
21 Este saludo es de mi puño y letra[h](AQ). Pablo[i]. 22 Si alguien no ama al Señor, que sea anatema[j](AR). ¡Maranata(AS)[k]! 23 La gracia del Señor Jesús[l] sea con ustedes(AT). 24 Mi amor sea con todos ustedes en Cristo Jesús. Amén.
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.
