1 Corinthians 16 1-7

 12/13 ~ From New Testament Letters

  🕊️ (In the Order Believed Written)

1 - Now concerning the collection for the believers at Jerusalem (hard pressed because of a drought) as I said to the churches of Galatia, so you can do also. 2 On the first day of every week, each of you can put something aside and store it up, as each one determines, so there’s no collecting when I come. 3 And when I arrive, I’ll send those whom you choose with a letter, to carry your gift to Jerusalem. 4 If it seems advisable that I should go also, they’ll travel with me.

     5 I’ll visit you after passing through Macedonia, for I intend to pass through Macedonia to you there in Greece, 6 and perhaps I’ll stay with you or even spend the winter, so you may help me on my journey, wherever I go. 7 For I don’t want to see you now just in passing. I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits. [Paul had spent a year and a half there discipling and teaching, and now it was a work they were doing together, of discipling and teaching, but the Corinthian believers had become a mix of attitudes even teachings, as this letter earlier has gone into and addressed.]
