The Collection for the Saints

1 Corinthians 16

¹ Now concerning _a the collection for the saints, as I have given orders to the churches of Galatia, so you must do also: ² _b 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, _c whomever you approve by your letters I will send to bear your gift to Jerusalem. ⁴ _d But if it is fitting that I go also, they will go with me.
