1 Corinthians 16:1-3
<< 1 Corinthians 15 | 1 Corinthians 16 | 2 Corinthians 1 >>

The Collection for the Saints

16:1 Now concerning [1] the collection for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also are to do. 2 On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that there will be no collecting when I come. 3 And when I arrive, I will send those whom you accredit by letter to carry your gift to Jerusalem.
