1 Corinthians 16

1 Now about the collection for the saints, you are to do as I directed the churches of Galatia:

1 至于捐款帮助圣徒这件事，你们可以照我吩咐加拉太各教会的方法办理。

2 On the first day of every week, each of you should set aside a portion of his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will be needed.

2 每逢周日，各人应按照自己的收入抽出一部分留起来，免得我到的时候才现凑。

3 Then, on my arrival, I will send letters with those you recommend to carry your gift to Jerusalem.

3 我到了以后，会差遣你们委托的人带着推荐信，把你们的捐款送到耶路撒冷。

4 And if it is advisable for me to go also, they can travel with me.

4 如果我也需要去的话，他们可以跟我一起去。

5 After I go through Macedonia, however, I will come to you; for I will be going through Macedonia.

5 我正打算从马其顿经过，过了马其顿，我就去探望你们。

6 Perhaps I will stay with you awhile, or even spend the winter, so that you can help me on my journey, wherever I go.

6 我也许会和你们住一段时期，甚至在你们那里过冬。之后，我无论去什么地方，你们都可以给我送行。

7 For I do not want to see you now only in passing; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.

7 我不想只是现在顺道探望你们，主若许可，我盼望能够和你们同住一段时期。

8 But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost,

8 我会在以弗所停留到五旬节，

9 because a great door for effective work has opened to me, even though many oppose me.

9 因为大门为我敞开了，工作很有成效，不过反对我的人也很多。

10 If Timothy comes, see to it that he has nothing to fear while he is with you, for he is doing the work of the Lord, just as I am.

10 提摩太到了以后，你们务要好好接待他，让他在你们那里安心，因为他和我一样，都是在为主做工。

11 No one, then, should treat him with contempt. Send him on his way in peace so that he can return to me, for I am expecting him along with the brothers.

11 所以谁也不许轻视他。你们要帮助他平安地回到我这里，我正在等候他和弟兄们同来。

12 Now about our brother Apollos: I strongly urged him to go to you with the brothers. He was not at all inclined to go now, but he will go when he has the opportunity.

12 至于亚波罗弟兄，我虽然再三劝他和弟兄们去你们那里，但他目前还不愿去。不过他有机会就会去。

13 Be on the alert. Stand firm in the faith. Be men of courage. Be strong.

13 你们要警醒，在信仰上坚定不移，做勇敢刚强的人。

14 Do everything in love.

14 无论做什么事，都要有爱心。

15 You know that Stephanas and his household were the first converts in Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints. Now I urge you, brothers,

15 弟兄姊妹，你们都知道司提法纳一家在亚该亚是最早信主的 ，也知道他们怎样尽心竭力地服侍圣徒。

16 to submit to such as these, and to every fellow worker and laborer.

16 你们要顺服这样的人，也要顺服所有同心努力服侍的人。

17 I am glad that Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus have arrived, because they have supplied what was lacking from you.

17 我很高兴司提法纳、福徒拿都和亚该古来我这里，因为你们帮不到我的地方，他们都补足了。

18 For they refreshed my spirit and yours as well. Show your appreciation, therefore, to such men.

18 他们使我和你们心里都感到十分欣慰，你们要敬重这样的人。

19 The churches in the province of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Prisca greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house.

19 亚细亚的各教会问候你们。亚居拉和百基拉夫妇及常在他们家里聚会的信徒，奉主的名衷心地问候你们。

20 All the brothers here send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

20 全体弟兄姊妹都问候你们。你们要以圣洁的吻彼此问候。

21 This greeting is in my own hand—Paul.

21 我保罗亲笔问候你们。

22 If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be under a curse. Come, O Lord!

22 如果有人不爱主，这人可咒可诅！主啊，我愿你来！

23 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.

23 愿主耶稣基督的恩典与你们同在！

24 My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.

24 我在基督耶稣里爱你们众人。阿们！
