1 Corinthians 16:3

Jerusalem
IntegrityGenerosity

1 Now about the collection for the saints, you are to do as I directed the churches of Galatia:

2 On the first day of every week, each of you should set aside a portion of his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will be needed.

Then, on my arrival, I will send letters with those you recommend to carry your gift to Jerusalem.

4 And if it is advisable for me to go also, they can travel with me.

5 After I go through Macedonia, however, I will come to you; for I will be going through Macedonia.
