16:1 论到为圣徒捐钱，我从前怎样吩咐加拉太的众教会，你们也当怎样行。

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

 

16:2 每逢七日的第一日，各人要照自己的进项抽出来留着。免得我来的时候现凑。

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.

 

16:3 及至我来到了，你们写信举荐谁，我就打发他们，把你们的捐资送到耶路撒冷去。

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

 

16:4 若我也该去，他们可以和我同去。

And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.

 

16:5 我要从马其顿经过。既经过了，就要到你们那里去。

Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.

 

16:6 或者和你们同住几时，或者也过冬。无论我往那里去，你们就可以给我送行。

And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go.

 

16:7 我如今不愿意路过见你们。主若许我，我就指望和你们同住几时。

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

 

16:8 但我要仍旧住在以弗所，直等到五旬节。

But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.

 

16:9 因为有功效的门，为我开了，并且反对的人也多。

For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.

 

16:10 若是提摩太来到，你们要留心，叫他在你们那里无所惧怕。因为他劳力作主的工，像我一样。

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.

 

16:11 所以无论谁，都不可藐视他。只要送他平安前行，叫他到我这里来。因我指望他和弟兄们同来。

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.

 

16:12 至于兄弟亚波罗，我再三的劝他，同弟兄们到你们那里去。但这时他决不愿意去。几时有了机会他必去。

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.

 

16:13 你们务要儆醒，在真道上站立得稳，要作大丈夫，要刚强。

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

 

16:14 凡你们所作的，都要凭爱心而作。

Let all your things be done with charity.

 

16:15 弟兄们，你们晓得司提反一家，是亚该亚初结的果子。并且他们专以服事圣徒为念。

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,)

 

16:16 我劝你们顺服这样的人，并一切同工同劳的人。

That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth.

 

16:17 司提反，和福徒拿都，并亚该古，到这里来，我很喜欢。因为你们待我有不及之处，他们补上了。

I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.

 

16:18 他们叫我和你们心里都快活。这样的人，你们务要敬重。

For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.

 

16:19 亚细亚的众教会问你们安。亚居拉和百基拉，并在他们家里的教会，因主多多的问你们安。

The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.

 

16:20 众弟兄都问你们安。你们要亲嘴问安，彼此务要圣洁。

All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.

 

16:21 我保罗亲笔问安。

The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.

 

16:22 若有人不爱主，这人可诅可咒。主必要来。

If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.

 

16:23 愿主耶稣基督的恩，常与你们众人同在。

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

 

16:24 我在基督耶稣里的爱与你们众人同在。阿们。

My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
