1 NOW concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, likewise do you also. 2 Upon the first day of every week, let each of you put aside and keep in his house whatever he can afford, so that there may be no collections when I come. 3 And when I come, whomsoever you may select, I will send with a letter, to carry your gracious gift to Jerusalem. 4 And if it is right that I go also, they shall go with me. 5 I will come to you, when I pass through Mac-e-do’ni-a; for I do pass through Mace- do’ni-a. 6 And perhaps I will remain some time with you, or pass the winter with you, so that you may escort me withersoever I go. 7 For I do not want to see you now just as a wayfarer; because I trust to tarry for a time with you, if my LORD permit me. 8 But I will tarry at Eph'e-sus until Pentecost. 9 For a great door, full of opportunities, is opened to me, and adversaries are many. 1 Corinthians 16:1-9, Lamsa Bible.
