1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. |
2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come. |
3 And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem. |
4 And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me. |
5 Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia. |
6 And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go. |
7 For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit. |
8 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost. |
9 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries. |
