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

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.  ‡

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

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