 bthe collection for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also are to do. 2On cthe first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, das he may prosper, eso that there will be no collecting when I come. 3And when I arrive, I will send fthose whom you accredit by letter to carry your gift to Jerusalem. 4If it seems advisable that I should go also, they will accompany me.
