1 Corinthians 16:3

The Collection for the Saints

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.4And if it is advisable for me to go also, they can travel with me.
