1 Corinthians 16:1-9 ▼

1 Now as to the collection for the converts at Jerusalem, do as I have directed for the churches of Galatia.

2 every sabbath-day let every one of you set apart something of what he has happily gain'd, for the common treasury, that there may be no collection when I come.

3 and when I come, I shall send such as you shall approve of, who will convey letters, and your kind present to Jerusalem.

4 and if it be so considerable as to induce me to go, they shall accompany me.

5 I shall come to you, by the way of Macedonia: (for I

6 pass thro' Macedonia) and perhaps I shall make some stay, if not pass the winter with you, that you may forward me on my journey, wherever I go.

7 for I do not design to see you in my passage thither, yet I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permit.

8 I shall stay at Ephesus, till whitsontide.

9 for I have a very fair and promising opportunity given me of propagating the gospel, tho' there are many opposers.
