Gen Z: 1 Corinthians 16
1Yo, about that collection for the saints, I told the churches in Galatia to get on it, and you should too.
2On the first day of the week, everyone should stash away some cash, like God blessed you, so we ain't gotta stress when I show up.
3When I pull up, whoever you vibe with, I’ll send them to drop off your generosity in Jerusalem.
4If it's lit that I roll with them, they can come too.
5I'm planning to swing by you after I hit up Macedonia, for real.
6I might chill with you for a bit, even through winter, so you can help me on my journey wherever I go.
7I won’t see you on the way, but I’m hoping to hang out with you for a while if the Lord’s down.
8But I’m staying at Ephesus until Pentecost, no cap.
9A major opportunity just opened up for me, but I got some haters.
10If Timotheus shows up, make sure he’s good with you, 'cause he’s grinding for the Lord like I am.
11Don’t let anyone throw shade at him; send him off in peace so he can come to me, 'cause I'm waiting for him with the crew.
12About our dude Apollos, I really wanted him to roll with you and the crew, but he’s not feeling it right now; he’ll come when it’s a good time.
13Stay woke, hold it down in the faith, act like men, and be strong.
14Let everything you do be with love, periodt.
15I’m asking you, fam, (you know the house of Stephanas, they’re the first in Achaia, and they’re all in for the saints' ministry,)
16So you should vibe with them and everyone helping out with us and grinding hard.
17I'm pumped about Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus coming through; they filled in what you were missing.
18They’ve lifted my spirit and yours, so show them some love, for real.
19The churches in Asia send their love. Aquila and Priscilla are sending big hugs in the Lord, with their house crew.
20All the bros say what’s up. Give each other a holy kiss, no cap.
21This shoutout is from me, Paul, written with my own hand.
22If anyone doesn’t love the Lord Jesus Christ, let them be cursed; come back, Lord!
23May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you, fr.
24My love’s with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen. This letter to the Corinthians was written from Philippi by Stephanas, Fortunatus, Achaicus, and Timotheus.
