Now about the collection for the Lord’s people: Do what I told the Galatian churches to do.
2 On the first day of the week, let every one of you put apart with himself, laying up what it shall well please him: that when I come, the collections be not then to be made.

On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with your income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made.

If it seems advisable for me to go also, they will accompany me.

Perhaps I will stay with you for a while, or even spend the winter, so that you can help me on my journey, wherever I go.
