1 Corinthians 第16章
The Collection for the Saints
1Now concerning16:1 The expression Now concerning introduces a reply to a question in the Corinthians’ letter; see 7:1; also verse 1216:1 See Acts 24:17the collection for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also are to do.
2On 16:2 Acts 20:7; [Rev. 1:10] the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, 16:2 2 Cor. 8:3, 11as he may prosper, 16:2 2 Cor. 9:3so that there will be no collecting when I come.
3And when I arrive, I will send 16:3 [2 Cor. 8:18, 19]those whom you accredit by letter to carry your gift to Jerusalem.
4If it seems advisable that I should go also, they will accompany me.
Plans for Travel
516:5 See ch. 4:19I will visit you after passing through 16:5 See Acts 16:9Macedonia, for 16:5 Acts 19:21I intend to pass through Macedonia,
6and perhaps I will stay with you or even spend the winter, so that you may 16:6 ver. 11; See Acts 15:3help me on my journey, wherever I go.
7For I do not want to see you now 16:7 [2 Cor. 1:15, 16] just in passing. I hope to spend some time with you, 16:7 ch. 4:19; Acts 18:21; James 4:15if the Lord permits.
9for 16:9 See Acts 14:27a wide door for effective work has opened to me, and 16:9 Acts 19:9there are many adversaries.
1016:10 ch. 4:17; [2 Cor. 1:1] When Timothy comes, see that you put him at ease among you, for 16:10 Rom. 16:21; 1 Thess. 3:2; [Phil. 2:20, 22] he is doing 16:10 See ch. 15:58the work of the Lord, as I am.
11So 16:11 1 Tim. 4:12; [Titus 2:15] let no one despise him. 16:11 ver. 6Help him on his way 16:11 Acts 15:33in peace, that he may return to me, for I am expecting him with the brothers.
Final Instructions
12Now concerning 16:12 See Acts 18:24our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to visit you with the other brothers, but it was not at all his will16:12 Or God’s will for him to come now. He will come when he has opportunity.
1316:13 See Matt. 24:42Be watchful, 16:13 Gal. 5:1; Phil. 1:27; 4:1; 1 Thess. 3:8; 2 Thess. 2:15; See ch. 15:1stand firm in the faith, 16:13 1 Sam. 4:9; 2 Sam. 10:12; Isa. 46:8act like men, 16:13 Eph. 3:16; [Eph. 6:10; Col. 1:11]be strong.
15Now I urge you, brothers16:15 Or brothers and sisters; also verse 20—you know that 16:15 ch. 1:16the household16:15 Greek house of Stephanas were 16:15 [Rom. 16:5] the first converts16:15 Greek the firstfruits in Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves 16:15 See Rom. 15:31to the service of the saints—
1616:16 1 Thess. 5:12; Heb. 13:17be subject to such as these, and to every fellow worker and laborer.
17I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they have made up for 16:17 Phil. 2:30; [2 Cor. 11:9; Philem. 13]your absence,
18for they 16:18 2 Cor. 7:13; [Rom. 15:32; Philem. 7, 20] refreshed my spirit as well as yours. 16:18 Phil. 2:29; 1 Thess. 5:12Give recognition to such people.
Greetings
19The churches of Asia send you greetings. 16:19 See Acts 18:2Aquila and Prisca, together with 16:19 See Rom. 16:5the church in their house, send you hearty greetings in the Lord.
20All the brothers send you greetings. 16:20 See Rom. 16:16Greet one another with a holy kiss.
21I, Paul, write 16:21 Col. 4:18; 2 Thess. 3:17; [Rom. 16:22; Gal. 6:11; Philem. 19]this greeting with my own hand.
22If anyone has no love for the Lord, let him be 16:22 See Rom. 9:3accursed. Our Lord, come!16:22 Greek Maranatha (a transliteration of Aramaic)
2316:23 Rom. 16:20The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
24My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
