Paul starts 1 Corinthians 16 organizing regular weekly collections in the church in Corinth, as he had done with the Galatian churches, for the Jerusalem church in need. Then he says that he will be going through Macedonia on his way to Corinth where he will stay for a while, maybe the whole winter period. Then he would stay at Ephesus until Pentecost. He also asks the church to take good care of Timothy if he should go there. Apollos will also go to Corinth "when he has the opportunity". Then he says: "Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith, be men of courage; be strong. Do everything in love". "Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus refreshed my spirit and yours also. Such men deserve recognition". He closes sending greetings from the Asian churches and from Aquila and Priscilla, sending greetings with a holy kiss. He ends cursing all those who don't love the Lord but sending the church his love in Christ Jesus".
