1 Cor. 16:1 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) about (peri) the (tēs) collection (logeias), of the (tēs) [collection, RE] into (eis) the (tous) holy ones (hagious), so be it as (hōsper) I thoroughly arranged (dietaxa) for the (tais) assemblies (ekklēsiais) of the (tēs) Galatia (Galatias), thusly (houtōs) you (humeis) also (kai) do (poiēsate).
1 Cor. 16:2 (LIT/UBS4) Down on account (kata) of one (mian) [day, RE], [a] sabbath day (sabbatou), <let> each one (hekastos) of you (humōn), gathering treasure (thēsaurizōn), place (tithetō) something (ti) aside (par’) to himself (heautō), if perhaps (ean) whatever (ho) may have made you well prosperous along the way (euodōtai);
in order that (hina) when perhaps (hotan) I may come (elthō) they may not cause themselves to become (mē ginōntai) collectors (logeiai) then (tote).
(For
who was to receive the collections, the gracious abundant sharings, like
the collections from the believers in the area of Corinth, see what
Christ Jesus and the apostles taught and preached, Mat. 19:20-21,
26:6-13; Mark 10:20-21, 14:3-9; Luke 4:18-19, *14:12-14, 21-22, 18:22,
19:8; John 12:3-8, 13:28-29; Acts 2:44-47; Rom. 15:26; 1 Cor. 13:3,
16:1-2;
2 Cor. 6:10, 8:9, 9:9; Gal. 2:10. )
1 Cor. 16:3 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) when perhaps (hotan) I may cause myself to become alongside (paragenōmai), if perhaps (ean) whom (hous) you may approve (dokimasēte) through (di’) epistles (epistolōn), these ones (toutous) I shall send (pempsō) to bring away (apenenkein) the (tēn) grace (charin) of you (humōn) into (eis) Jerusalem (Hierousalēm).
1 Cor. 16:4 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) if perhaps (ean) he may be (ē) [a] worthy one (axion) of the (tou) [approved ones, v3, RE], and I (kame) cause myself to go (poreuesthai) [to you, AE], they shall go (poreusontai) together with (sun) me (emoi).
(For examples of the apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers, and disciples of Christ Jesus NOT selling or bartering the knowledge and things of God for personal gain, or of NOT accepting money or personal gifts for themselves, but rather working with their own hands to provide for their own personal necessary needs, see Mat. 5:42-48, 10:8; Luke 7:19-22, 41-43; Acts 8:9-24, 18:1-3, 20:33-35; Rom. 3:24, 8:32; 1 Cor. 2:12, 4:12, 4:1-13, 9:3-23, 16:1-4; 2 Cor. 11:7, 12:13-19; Eph. 4:28; 1 Thes. 4:11-12; 2 Thes. 3:6-12; 1 Tim. 3:3; Titus 1:11; 3 John 1:6-7; Rev. 21:6, 22:17)
1 Cor. 16:5 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) I shall cause myself to come (eleusomai) to (pros) you (humas) when perhaps (hotan) I may pass through (dielthō) Macedonia (Makedonian), because (gar) I am causing myself to come through (dierchomai) Macedonia (Makedonian).
1 Cor. 16:6 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) having attained (tuchon) [to come, v5, RE] to (pros) you (humas), I shall stay alongside (paramenō), or (ē) I shall winter alongside (paracheimasō) also (kai);
in order that (hina) you (humeis) may send me forward (me propempsēte), if perhaps (ean) wherever (hou) I may be caused to go (poreuōmai).
1 Cor. 16:7 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) I absolutely do not desire (ou thelō), at this time (arti), to see (idein) you (humas) in (en) passing along the way (parodō)!
Because (gar) I hope (elpizō) to stay over (epimeinai) toward (pros) you (humas) some (tina) time (chronon), if perhaps (ean) the (ho) lord (kurios) may turn [time, RE] over (epitrepsē) [to me, AE].
1 Cor. 16:8 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) I shall stay over (epimenō) in (en) Ephesus (Ephesō) until (heōs) the (tēs) Pentecost (Pentēkostēs).
1 Cor. 16:9 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) [a] door (thura) has been opened up (aneōgen) to me (moi), [a] great (megalē) and (kai) energized one (energēs).
And (kai) [there, AE] [are] many ones (polloi) causing themselves to lie opposed (antikeimenoi) [to me, AE].
1 Cor. 16:10 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) if perhaps (ean) Timothy (Timotheos) may come (elthē), see to it (blepete) in order that (hina) he may cause himself to come (genētai) to (pros) you (humas) fearlessly (aphobōs).
Because (gar) he causes himself to work (ergazetai) [the] work (ergon) [of the] lord (kuriou), as (hōs) I also (kagō).
1 Cor. 16:11 (LIT/UBS4) Therefore (oun), <do> not (mē) <let> anyone (tis) <reject> him (auton) as absolutely nothing (exouthenēsē)!
But (de) send him forward (propempsate auton) in (en) peace (eirēnē), in order that (hina) he may come (elthē) to (pros) me (me).
Because (gar) I am causing myself to receive him out (ekdechomai auton) [of you, v10, RE], together with (meta) the (tōn) brothers (adelphōn).
1 Cor. 16:12 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) about (peri) the (tou) brother (adelphou) Apollos (Apollō), I accosted (parekalesa) him (auton) greatly (polla), in order that (hina) he may come (elthē) to (pros) you (humas) together with (meta) the (tōn) brothers (adelphōn).
And (kai) it was absolutely not being (ouk ēn) at all (pantōs) [a] desire (thelēma) [of him, RE] that (hina) he may come (elthē) now (nun)!
But (de) he shall cause himself to come (eleusetai) when perhaps (hotan) it may be well-timed (eukairēsē).

1 Cor. 16:15 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) I accost (parakalō) you (humas), brothers (adelphoi);
you have seen (oidate) the (tēn) house (oikian) of Stephanas (stephana), that (hoti) it is (estin) [a] beginning offering (aparchē) of the (tēs) Achaia (Achaias), and (kai) they arranged (etaxan) themselves (heautous) into (eis) [a] ministry (diakonian) to the (tois) holy ones (hagiois);
1 Cor. 16:16 (LIT/UBS4) in order that (hina) you (humeis) also (kai) may be put in submission (hupotassēsthe) to the ones (tois) like these (toioutois), and (kai) to everyone (panti), to the (tō) one working together with (sunergounti) [us, AE] and (kai) laboring (kopiōnti).
(For mortals who have been made righteous through their belief in Jesus' name, as being beginning offerings to God from Jesus Christ, see Rom. 11:13-18, 16:5; *1 Cor. 15:20-23, 16:15-16; 2 Thes. 2:13-14; James 1:17-19; Rev. 14:4)
1 Cor. 16:17 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) I rejoice (chairō) over (epi) the (tē) presence (parousia) of Stephanas (Stephana), and (kai) of Fortunatus (Phortounatou), and (kai) of Achaicus (Achaikou), that (hoti) the (to) thing lacking (husterēma) of you (humeteron) these ones (houtoi) filled up (aneplērōsan).
1 Cor. 16:18 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) they rested up (anepausan) the (to) spirit (pneuma) of me (emon), and (kai) the one (to) of you (humōn).
Therefore (oun), experientially know (epiginōskete) the ones (tous) like these (toioutous).
1 Cor. 16:19 (LIT/UBS4) The (hai) assemblies (ekklēsiai) of the (tēs) Asia (Asias) cause themselves to embrace (aspazontai) you (humas).
Aquila (Akulas) and (kai) Priska (Priska) embrace (aspazetai) you (humas) much (polla) in (en) [the] lord (kuriō), together with (meta) the (tē) assembly (ekklēsia) down (kat’) [the] house (oikon) of them (autēn).
1 Cor. 16:20 (LIT/UBS4) All (pantes) the (hoi) brothers (adelphoi) cause themselves to embrace (aspazontai) you (humas).
Cause yourselves to embrace (aspasasthe) one another (allēlous) in (en) [a] holy (hagiō) kiss (philēmati).
