1 Corinthians 16:1-9

1Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given orders to the churches of Galatia, so you must do also:

2On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper, that there be no collections when I come.

3And when I come, whomever you approve by your letters I will send to bear your gift to Jerusalem.

4But if it is fitting that I go also, they will go with me.

5Now I will come to you when I pass through Macedonia (for I am passing through Macedonia).

6And it may be that I will remain, or even spend the winter with you, that you may send me on my journey, wherever I go.

7For I do not wish to see you now on the way; but I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits.

8But I will tarry in Ephesus until Pentecost.

9For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
