1. Now concerning the collections which are made for the saints: just as I have arranged for the churches of Galatia, so should it also be done with you.
2. On the first day of the week, the Sabbath, let each one of you take from himself, setting aside what will be well-pleasing to him, so that when I arrive, the collections will not have to be made then.
3. And when I am present, whomever you shall approve through letters, these I shall send to bear your gifts to Jerusalem.
4. And if it is fitting for me to go too, they shall go with me.
5. Now I will visit you after I have passed through Macedonia. For I will pass through Macedonia.
