1 Corinthians 16:1-5

1You asked me about the money that you want to give to God's people at Jerusalem. You should do it in the same way that I told the churches in Galatia.

2On the first day of every week, each of you should put some of your money in a safe place. Think about how much God has given you. Then decide how much you can give each week. If you do that, the gift will be ready when I come to you. We will not need to start doing it after I come.

3When I arrive there, you should choose people from your group who will take your gift to Jerusalem. I will write some letters that they will take with them. The letters will explain about your gift.

4I may also go myself, if that seems the right thing for me to do. Then they can travel with me.

5But I must travel through Macedonia first. After I have been to Macedonia, then I will come to you.
