1 Corinthians 16

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

1 論到為聖徒捐錢，我從前怎樣吩咐加拉太的眾教會，你們也當怎樣行。

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 每逢七日的第一日，各人要照自己的進項抽出來留着，免得我來的時候現湊。

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

3 及至我來到了，你們寫信舉薦誰，我就打發他們，把你們的捐資送到耶路撒冷去。

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

4 若我也該去，他們可以和我同去。

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

5 我要從馬其頓經過；既經過了，就要到你們那裏去，

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 或者和你們同住幾時，或者也過冬。無論我往哪裏去，你們就可以給我送行。

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 我如今不願意路過見你們；主若許我，我就指望和你們同住幾時。

8 But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost,

8 但我要仍舊住在以弗所，直等到五旬節；

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

9 因為有寬大又有功效的門為我開了，並且反對的人也多。

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 若是提摩太來到，你們要留心，叫他在你們那裏無所懼怕；因為他勞力做主的工，像我一樣。

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，無論誰都不可藐視他，只要送他平安前行，叫他到我這裏來，因我指望他和弟兄們同來。

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 至於兄弟亞波羅，我再三地勸他同弟兄們到你們那裏去；但這時他決不願意去，幾時有了機會他必去。

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

13 你們務要警醒，在真道上站立得穩，要作大丈夫，要剛強。

14 Do everything in love.

14 凡你們所做的都要憑愛心而做。

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 弟兄們，你們曉得司提法那一家，是亞該亞初結的果子，並且他們專以服事聖徒為念。

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

16 我勸你們順服這樣的人，並一切同工同勞的人。

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

17 司提法那和福徒拿都，並亞該古到這裏來，我很喜歡；因為你們待我有不及之處，他們補上了。

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

18 他們叫我和你們心裏都快活。這樣的人，你們務要敬重。

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 亞細亞的眾教會問你們安。亞居拉和百基拉並在他們家裏的教會，因主多多地問你們安。

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

20 眾弟兄都問你們安。你們要親嘴問安，彼此務要聖潔。

21 This greeting is in my own hand—Paul.

21 我－保羅親筆問安。

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

22 若有人不愛主，這人可詛可咒。主必要來！

23 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.

23 願主耶穌基督的恩常與你們眾人同在！

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

24 我在基督耶穌裏的愛與你們眾人同在。阿們！
