     to the churches of Galatia,
     so you must do also:
   • ² On the first day of the week
     let each one of you
     lay something aside,
     storing up as he may prosper,
     that there be no collections
     when I come.
   • ³ And when I come,
     whomever you approve
     by your letters
     I will send to bear your gift
     to Jerusalem.

     to see you now on the way;
     but I hope to stay a while with you,
