1 Corinthians 16:1-4

Ordered Giving, Open Doors, Faithful Labor, and Final Exhortations in the Lord

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

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.

3 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.
