New Testament · Paul's Letters
1 Corinthians 16
1 Corinthians 16 opens with these words: “Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I commanded the assemblies of Galatia, you do likewise.” The line to keep is 1 Corinthians 16:22: “If any man doesn’t love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. Come, Lord!” Carry the word “doesn” from that verse into the rest of the day.

16that you also be in subjection to such, and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.
17I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for that which was lacking on your part, they supplied.
18For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge those who are like that.

22If any man doesn’t love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. Come, Lord!
23The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
24My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
