1 Corinthians 16:1-12

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on 1 Corinthians 16:1-12

1Now about the collection for the saints, you are to do as I directed the churches of Galatia:
2On 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.
3Then, on my arrival, I will send letters with those you recommend to carry your gift to Jerusalem.
4And if it is advisable for me to go also, they can travel with me.
5After I go through Macedonia, however, I will come to you; for I will be going through Macedonia.
6Perhaps I will stay with you awhile, or even spend the winter, so that you can help me on my journey, wherever I go.
7For I do not want to see you now only in passing; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.
8But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost,
9because a great door for effective work has opened to me, even though many oppose me.
10If 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.
11No 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.
12Now 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.
