2 ^aOn 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.

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

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