1. Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I directed the assemblies of Galatia, so do ye do also.
2. On the first of the week let each of you put by at home, laying up in whatever degree he may have prospered, that there may be no collections when I come.
3. And when I am arrived, whomsoever ye shall approve, these I will send with letters to carry your bounty to Jerusalem:
4. and if it be suitable that I also should go, they shall go with me.
5. But I will come to you when I shall have gone through Macedonia; for I do go through Macedonia.
6. But perhaps I will stay with you, or even winter with you, that ye may set me forward wheresoever I may go.
7. For I will not see you now in passing, for I hope to remain a certain time with you, if the Lord permit.
8. But I remain in Ephesus until Pentecost.
