1 Corinthians 16:1-7

1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given orders to the churches of Galatia, so you must do also:

² On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper, that there be no collections when I come.

³ And when I come, whomever you approve by your letters I will send to bear your gift to Jerusalem.

⁴ But if it is fitting that I go also, they will go with me.

⁵ Now I will come to you when I pass through Macedonia (for I am passing through Macedonia).

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.

⁷ For I do not wish to see you now on the way; but I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits.
