2453 1 Corinthians 16


¶ Behold, I show you a mystery ; We shall not all sleep, but we shall
all be changed,
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump : for the
trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and
we shall be changed.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must
put on immortality.
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this
mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass
the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
The sting of death is sin ; and the strength of sin is the law.
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord
Jesus Christ.
¶ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable,
always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know
that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

The Collection for the Saints

Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order
to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.
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.
And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters,
them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.
And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.

Plans for Travel

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