哥林多前書 第 16 章

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。Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.

²每逢七日的第一日，各人要照自己的進項抽出來留著，免得我來的時候現湊。Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.

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。And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.

⁴若我也該去，他們可以和我同去。And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.

⁵我要從馬其頓經過；既經過了，就要到你們那裡去，Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.

⁶或者和你們同住幾時，或者也過冬。無論我往那裡去，你們就可以給我送行。And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go.

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。For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.

⁸但我要仍舊住在以弗所，直等到五旬節；But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.

⁹因為有寬大又有功效的門為我開了，並且反對的人也多。For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.

¹⁰若是提摩太來到，你們要留心，叫他在你們那裡無所懼怕；因為他勞力做主的工，像我一樣。Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do.

¹¹所以，無論誰都不可藐視他，只要送他平安前行，叫他到我這裡來，因我指望他和弟兄們同來。Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come unto me: for I look for him with the brethren.

¹²至於兄弟亞波羅，我再三的勸他同弟兄們到你們那裡去；但這時他決不願意去，幾時有了機會他必去。As touching our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come unto you with the brethren: but his will was not at all to come at this time; but he will come when he shall have convenient time.

¹³你們務要儆醒，在真道上站立得穩，要作大丈夫，要剛強。Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

¹⁴凡你們所做的都要憑愛心而做。Let all your things be done with charity.

¹⁵弟兄們，你們曉得司提反一家，是亞該亞初結的果子，並且他們專以服事聖徒為念。I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,)

¹⁶我勸你們順服這樣的人，並一切同工同勞的人。That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth.

¹⁷司提反和福徒拿都，並亞該古到這裡來，我很喜歡；因為你們待我有不及之處，他們補上了。I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.

¹⁸他們叫我和你們心裡都快活。這樣的人，你們務要敬重。For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.

¹⁹亞西亞的眾教會問你們安。亞居拉和百基拉並在他們家裡的教會，因主多多的問你們安。The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.

²⁰眾弟兄都問你們安。你們要親嘴問安，彼此務要聖潔。All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.

²¹我─保羅親筆問安。The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.

²²若有人不愛主，這人可詛可咒。主必要來！If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.

²³願主耶穌基督的恩常與你們眾人同在！The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

²⁴我在基督耶穌裡的愛與你們眾人同在。阿們！My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
