Instructions and Greetings
1Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you are to do as well. 2On the first day of every week, each of you is to put aside and save as he may prosper, so that no collections need to be made when I come. 3When I arrive, whomever you approve, I will send them with letters to take your gift to Jerusalem; 4and if it is appropriate for me to go also, they will go with me.
5But I will come to you after I go through Macedonia; for I am going through Macedonia, 6and perhaps I will stay with you or even spend the winter, so that you may send me on my way wherever I go. 7For I do not want to see you now just in passing; for I hope to remain with you for some time, if the Lord permits. 8But I will remain in Ephesus until Pentecost; 9for a wide door for effective service has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
