1 Corinthians 16

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 16 of 16

1 And about the collection, the one for the saints, as I charged the assemblies of Galatia, so also you do.

2 On the first of the sabbaths, let each one of you put by himself, storing up whatever he is prospered, that there not be collections then when I come.

3 And when I arrive, whomever you approve through these epistles, I will send to carry your gift of grace to Jerusalem.
