16:1 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 16:2 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. 16:3 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.] 16:4 That if it be worthy that also I go, they shall go with me. 16:5 But I shall come to you, when I shall pass by Macedonia; for why I shall pass by Macedonia. 16:6 But peradventure I shall dwell at you, or also dwell the winter, that ye lead me whither ever I shall go. 16:7 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. 16:8 But I shall dwell at Ephesus, unto Whitsuntide [till Whitsuntide]. 16:9 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. 16:10 And if Timothy come, see ye that he be without dread with you, for he worketh the work of the Lord, as [and] I. 16:11 Therefore no man despise him; but lead him forth in peace, that he come to me; for I abide him with brethren. 16:12 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. 16:13 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,] 16:14 and be all your things done in charity. 16:15 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; 16:16 that also ye be subjects to such, and to each working together and travailing. 16:17 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]; 16:18 for they have refreshed both my spirit and yours. Therefore know ye them, that be such manner men . 16:19 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]. 16:20 All brethren greet you well. Greet ye well together in holy kiss. 16:21 My greeting by Paul's hand. 16:22 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 .] 16:23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. 16:24 My charity be with you all in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.
