1Now about the giving of money for the saints, as I gave orders to the churches of Galatia, so do you.
2On the first day of the week, let every one of you put by him in store, in measure as he has done well in business, so that it may not be necessary to get money together when I come.
3And when I come, I will send the men of your selection with letters to take the money you have got together to Jerusalem.
4And if it is possible for me to go there, they will go with me.
5But I will come to you after I have gone through Macedonia, for that is my purpose;
6But I may be with you for a time, or even for the winter, so that you may see me on my way, wherever I go.
7For it is not my desire to see you now, on my way; because it is my hope to be with you for some time, if that is the Lord's pleasure.
