1st Corinthians — 16
The Collection for Yahushalam
1 Now regarding your question about the money being collected for the people of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH in Yahushalam. You should follow the same procedure I gave to the Qadash ones in Galatia.
2 On the Motza’ai-Shabbat which is the first day evening (Shabbat sunset) of each week, you should each put aside a portion of the money you have earned. Do not wait until I get there and then try to collect it all at once.
3 When I come, I will write letters of recommendation for the messengers you choose to deliver your gift to Yahushalam.
4 And if it seems appropriate for me to go along, they can travel with me.
Shaul’s Final Instructions
5 I am coming to visit you after I have been to Macedonia, for I am planning to travel through Macedonia.
6 Perhaps I will stay awhile with you, possibly all winter, and then you can send me on my way to my next destination.
7 This time I do not want to make just a short visit and then go right on. I want to come and stay awhile, if 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH will let me.
8 In the meantime, I will be staying here at Ephesus until the Festival of Shabut (Pentecost).
9 There is a wide-open door for a great work here, although many oppose me.
10 When Timothy comes, do not intimidate him. He is doing the work of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, just as I am.
11 Do not let anyone treat Timothy with contempt. Send him on his way with your Barakah when he returns to me. I expect him to come with the other believers.
12 Now about our brother Apollos, I urged him to visit you with the other believers, but he was not willing to go right now, he will see you later when he has the opportunity.
13 Be on guard. Stand firm in the Amunah. Be courageous. Be strong.
14 And do everything with Ahaba (love).
15 You know that Stephanas and his household were the first of the harvest of believers in Greece, and they are spending their lives in service to the people of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH. I urge you, dear brothers and sisters,
16 To submit to them and others like them who serve with such devotion.
17 I am very glad that Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus have come here. They have been providing the help you were not here to give me.
18 They have been a wonderful encouragement to me, as they have been to you. You must show your appreciation to all who serve so well.
Shaul’s Final Greetings
19 The the Qadash assembly here in the province of Asia send greetings in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, as do Aquila and Priscilla and all the others who gather in their home for the Qadash Assembly meetings.
20 All the Achks (brothers) and Achutys (sisters) here send greetings to you. Greet each other with a sacred kiss.
21 HERE IS MY GREETING IN MY OWN HANDWRITING—SHAUL.
22 If anyone does not love 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, that person is cursed. Come Our Mashyach.
23 May the Favor of the Master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA be with you.
24 My love to all of you in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA Ha'Mashyach.
