1 Corinthians 16:4
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.
3 Then, on my arrival, I will send letters with those you recommend to carry your gift to Jerusalem.
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.
6 Perhaps I will stay with you awhile, or even spend the winter, so that you can help me on my journey, wherever I go.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
