1 Corinthians 16:1-6

The Collection for the Saints

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.
