2 On the first day of the week each of you should set aside and save whatever one can afford, so that collections will not be going on when I come.
3 And when I arrive, I shall send those whom you have approved with letters of recommendation to take your gracious gift to Jerusalem.
4 If it seems fitting that I should go also, they will go with me.
5 I shall come to you after I pass through Macedonia (for I am going to pass through Macedonia),
6 and perhaps I shall stay or even spend the winter with you, so that you may send me on my way wherever I may go.
7 For I do not wish to see you now just in passing, but I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.
8 I shall stay in Ephesus until Pentecost,
