New Testament
| 16:1 | Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have directed the churches of Galatia, so you must do also: |
| 16:2 | On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as God has prospered him, that there be no collections when I come. |
| 16:3 | And when I come, whomever you approve by your letters I will send to bear your gift to Jerusalem. |
| 16:4 | But if it is fitting that I go also, they will go with me. |
| 16:5 | Now I will come to you when I pass through Macedonia (because I am passing through Macedonia). |
| 16:6 | And it may be that I will remain, or even spend the winter with you, that you may send me on my journey, wherever I go. |
| 16:7 | Because, I do not wish to see you now along the way; but I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits. |
| 16:8 | But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost. |
| 16:9 | Because, a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries. |
| 16:10 | Now if Timothy comes, see that he may be with you without fear; because, he does the work of the Lord, as I also do. |
| 16:11 | Therefore let no one despise him. But send him on his journey in peace, that he may come to me; because I am expecting him with the brethren. |
| 16:12 | Now concerning our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brethren, but he was quite unwilling to come at this time; however, he will come when he has a convenient time. |
| 16:13 | Watch, stand fast in the faith, act like men, be strong. |
| 16:14 | Let all that you do be done with love. |
| 16:15 | I urge you, brethren, you know the household of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the ministry of the saints, |
| 16:16 | that you also submit to such, and to everyone who works and labors with us. |
| 16:17 | I am glad about the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus, because what was lacking on your part they supplied. |
| 16:18 | Because they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge such people. |
| 16:19 | The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you heartily in the Lord, with the church that is in their house. |
| 16:20 | All the brethren greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss. |
| 16:21 | The salutation from me Paul with my own hand. |
| 16:22 | If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha! |
| 16:23 | The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. |
| 16:24 | My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen. |
King James Bible 2016
Unlike most other modern versions, this Bible's text is based upon the same Hebrew Masoretic Text, and Greek Textus Receptus, of the King James Version of 1611.
In non Textus Receptus versions, the issue of having the best underlying manuscripts, is often overshadowed by the massive amount of omissions in the text. Because the KJV 2016 is not dealing with issues of omission and addition, the focus has been upon definition, and the KJV translators choices have been used as the benchmark.
One issue not often majored upon in the bible version debate is simply the way Greek words are defined. Many times, the NKJV leans upon the definition choices of modern versions as well as defaulting to Vines and Strong's definitions, which are almost always favorable to the Revised Version. In other words, one may have a correct text to translate from, but use erroneous modern version/modern dictionary definitions which change or distort the meaning of the words. Jay Green was accused of having a good TR bible but with "Alexandrian readings".
The KJV 2016 Edition rejects such erroneous modern definitions and restores the distinctness of historical KJV readings. The NKJV also tended to gravitate toward KJV marginal notes, which are in truth, rejected readings, and also toward Geneva Bible definitions, which the KJV had already cleared up.
