1 Corinthians 16:1-6

New Revised Standard NRS

1 Now concerning the collection for the saints: you should follow the directions I gave to the churches of Galatia.

2 On the first day of every week, each of you is to put aside and save whatever extra you earn, so that collections need not be taken when I come.

3 And when I arrive, I will send any whom you approve with letters to take your gift to Jerusalem.

4 If it seems advisable that I should go also, they will accompany me.

5 I will visit you after passing through Macedonia—for I intend to pass through Macedonia—

6 and perhaps I will stay with you or even spend the winter, so that you may send me on my way, wherever I go.

1 Now about the collection for the Lord’s people: Do what I told the Galatian churches to do.

2 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.

3 Then, when I arrive, I will give letters of introduction to the men you approve and send them with your gift to Jerusalem.

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

5 After I go through Macedonia, I will come to you—for I will be going through Macedonia.

6 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.
