First Corinthians 16 closes Paul’s letter to Corinth with a giving plan, travel updates, and the charge that defines his whole letter - do everything in love.
Full sung version coming soon.
Lyrics
Now concerning the collection for the saints As I commanded the assemblies of Galatia you do likewise On the first day of every week let each one of you save as he may prosper That no collections are made when I come
When I arrive I will send whoever you approve With letters to carry your gracious gift to Jerusalem If it is appropriate for me to go also they will go with me I will come to you when I have passed through Macedonia For I am passing through Macedonia
But with you it may be that I will stay with you Or even winter with you that you may send me on my journey Wherever I go For I do not wish to see you now in passing But I hope to stay a while with you if the Lord permits
But I will stay at Ephesus until Pentecost For a great and effective door has opened to me And there are many adversaries Now if Timothy comes see that he is with you without fear For he does the work of the Lord as I also do
Therefore let no one despise him But set him forward on his journey in peace that he may come to me For I expect him with the brothers Now concerning Apollos the brother I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers But it was not at all his desire to come now But he will come when he has an opportunity
Watch Stand firm in the faith Be courageous Be strong Let all that you do be done in love Now I beg you brothers you know the house of Stephanas That it is the first fruits of Achaia and that they have set themselves To serve the saints That you also be in subjection to such And to everyone who helps in the work and labours
I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas Fortunatus and Achaicus For that which was lacking on your part they supplied For they refreshed my spirit and yours Therefore acknowledge those who are like that The assemblies of Asia greet you
Aquila and Priscilla greet you warmly in the Lord Together with the assembly that is in their house All the brothers greet you Greet one another with a holy kiss This greeting is by me Paul with my own hand If any man doesn’t love the Lord Jesus Christ let him be cursed Come Lord The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you My love to all of you in Christ Jesus Amen
