The Collection for the Saints

1 Corinthians 16

¹ Now concerning _{1 e} the collection for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also are to do. ² On _f the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, _g as he may prosper, _h so that there will be no collecting when I come. ³ And when I arrive, I will send _i those whom you accredit by letter to carry your gift to Jerusalem. ⁴ If it seems advisable that I should go also, they will accompany me.
