1 Corinthians 16:8-24

8ButG1161 I will stayG1961 inG1722 EphesusG2181 untilG2193 PentecostG4005,1 9becauseG1063 a greatG3173 doorG2374 for effectiveG1756 work has openedG455 to meG1473, even thoughG2532 manyG4183 opposeG480 me.

IfG1437 TimothyG5095 comesG2064, see to itG991 thatG2443 he hasG1096 nothing to fearG870 while he is withG4314 youG4771, forG1063 he is doingG2038 theG3588 workG2041 of the LordG2962, just asG5613 I amG2504. 11NoG3361 oneG5100, thenG3767, should treat him with contemptG1848G846. SendG4311 him on his wayG846 inG1722 peaceG1515 so thatG2443 he can returnG2064 toG4314 meG1473, forG1063 I am expectingG1551 himG846 along withG3326 theG3588 brothersG80.

12NowG1161 aboutG4012 our brotherG80 ApollosG625: I strongly urgedG3870G4183 himG846 toG2443 goG2064 toG4314 youG4771 withG3326 theG3588 brothersG80. He wasG1510 notG3756 at allG3843 inclinedG2307 toG2443 goG2064 nowG3568, butG1161 he will goG2064 whenG3752 he has the opportunityG2119.

13Be on the alertG1127. Stand firmG4739 inG1722 theG3588 faithG4102. Be men of courageG407. Be strongG2901. 14DoG1096 everythingG3956 inG1722 loveG26.

15You knowG1492 thatG3754 StephanasG4734 and his householdG3614 wereG1510 the first convertsG536 in AchaiaG882, andG2532 they have devotedG5021 themselvesG1438 to theG1519 serviceG1248 of theG3588 saintsG40. NowG1161 I urgeG3870 youG4771, brothersG80, 16toG2443 submitG5293 to such as theseG5108, andG2532 to everyG3956 fellow workerG4903 andG2532 laborerG2872.

I am glad thatG5463 StephanasG4734, FortunatusG5415, andG2532 AchaicusG883 have arrivedG1909G3588G3952, becauseG3754 theyG3778 have suppliedG378 whatG3588 was lackingG5303 from youG5212. 18ForG1063 they refreshedG373 myG1699 spiritG4151 andG2532 yours as wellG4771. Show your appreciationG1921, thereforeG3767, to such menG5108.

19TheG3588 churchesG1577 in the province of AsiaG7732 send you greetingsG782G4771.

AquilaG207 andG2532 PriscaG42513 greetG782 youG4771 warmlyG4183 inG1722 the LordG2962, and so doesG4862 theG3588 churchG1577 that meets atG2596 theirG846 houseG3624.

20AllG3956 theG3588 brothersG80 here send you greetingsG782G4771. GreetG782 one anotherG240 withG1722 a holyG40 kissG5370.

21ThisG3588 greetingG783 is in my ownG1699 handG5495—PaulG3972.

22IfG1487 anyoneG5100 does notG3756 loveG5368 theG3588 LordG2962, let him beG1510 under a curseG331. ComeG3134, O LordG3134!4

23TheG3588 graceG5485 of theG3588 LordG2962 JesusG2424 be withG3326 youG4771.

24MyG1473 loveG26 be withG3326 allG3956 of youG4771 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.

AmenG281.5
