I CORINTHIANS 16:6 - 16:24

1912

6 And it may be that I will abide, yea, and 1 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, 2 if the Lord permit. 8 3 But I will tarry at Ephesus until 4 Pen- tecost. 9 For a great 5 door and effectual 6 is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries. 10 Now if 7 Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he wor- keth the work of the Lord, as I also do. 11 8 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 9 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, 10 be strong. 14 Let all your things be done with charity. 15 I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of 11 Stephanas, that it is 12 the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the 13 ministry of the saints,) 16 That ye 14 submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth. 17 I am glad of the coming of Stepha- nas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part 15 they have supplied. 18 For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: 16 therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.

19 The churches of Asia salute you. 17 Aquila and Priscilla salute you much i n the Lord, 18 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. The promise of CHRIST’S Second Coming (Fulfilled - Rev 19:11-21) 22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be 19 Anathema 20 MAR - ANATHA . P 23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. 24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
