I. CoRINTHIANS XVI. 17.

Then shall_be_brought_to_pass the w saying that “is_written, “DEATH *IS_SWALLOWED_UP IN VIC- TORY.” = 55 O_DEATH, WHERE ts thy “STING ? O_hGRAVE, WHERE ts thy “victory ? 56 ,b The sting of_-death is -sin ; And the strength of_-sin is the
law. : 57 But thanks be to_-God, which giveth us the victory Through our -Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, ‘be_ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of_the Lord, “forasmuch_as_ye_know that your -la- bour is not in_vain in the Lord.
1 6 NOW concerning the collection
for the saints, as I_-have.given_ ao to_the churches of_-Galatia, even so «do pe.
2 Upen the first day of_the_=week 'let eevery_one of_you lay by him +in_store, was God ‘hath _ prospered _him, that there_be no ¢ gatherings when I_*come,
3 And when I_*come, =whomsoever ye_ ‘shall_approve by your letters, them will_I_send to_-bring your -liberality unto Jerusalem.
4 And if it_be meet that I go also, they_shall_go with me.
5 Now L_will_come unto you, when I_ sshall_pass_through M onia: for I do_pass_through Macedonia.
6 And it_may_be that_I_will_abide, yea, and twinter with you, that pe *may_bring me on_my_journey whither- soever I_go.
7 For I_'will not see you now by the_ way; but I_htrust to_tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.
8 But I_will_tarry at Ephesus until -Pentecost.
9 For a great door and effectual “is_ opened unto_me, and there ave many adversaries.
10 Now if ‘ Timotheus -come, 'see that he_-may_be with you without_fear: for he_worketh the work of_the_Lord, as = also do. P
11-Let no man therefore despise him:
but -conduct him forth in peace, that 7
he_*may_come unto me: for I_look_for him with the brethren.
12,b As_touching our brother Apollos, I =greatly edesired 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-_sshall_haye_ convenient_time.
13 'Watch_ye, 'stand_fast in the faith, 'quit_you_like_men, 'be_strong.
14'Let all your_things be_done ¢ with charity. ‘
15 ,bI_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 That pe ,«'submit_yourselves un_ to «such, and to_every_one that helpeth_with ws, and 4laboureth.
VW ,bT_am_glad of the coming of_ Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achai- cus: for that_which_was lacking on_ your_part thep have supplied.

18 For they_have_refreshed “my spirit and ~your’s: therefore 'acknowledge_ye them_that are_such.
