1Now about the collection for the saints, you are to do as I directed the churches of Galatia:
2On 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.
3Then, on my arrival, I will send letters with those you recommend to carry your gift to Jerusalem.
— 1 Corinthians 16:1-3
