2. On the first day of the week let every one of you lay in store, as God has prospered him, so that no collections be made when I come.
3. And when I come, I will send whomever you approve with your letters to take your generous gifts to Jerusalem.
4. If it is fitting that I go also, they will go with me.
5. Now I will come to you after I pass through Macedonia. For I will pass through Macedonia.
6. It may be that I will remain, of course, and spend the winter with you, that you may send me on my journey wherever I go.
7. For I do not wish to see you now in passing. Instead, I trust to remain a while with you, if the Lord permits.
