1 Corinthians 16:2

2 On the first day of the week, each of you should set aside some income ^{▼▼ Grk “set aside, storing whatever he has been blessed with.”} and save ^{▼▼ Grk “set aside, storing.” The participle θησαυρίζων (qēsaurizōn) indicates the purpose or result of setting aside the extra income.} it to the extent that God has blessed you, ^{▼▼ “To the extent that God has blessed you” translates an awkward expression, “whatever has been prospered [to you].” This verb has been translated as an active with “God” as subject, taking it as a divine passive.} so that a collection will not have to be made ^{▼▼ Grk “so that collections will not be taking place.”} when I come.
