Collection for the Saints

16 Now concerning ^(A)the collection for the saints, as I have given orders to the churches of Galatia, so you must do also: ^2 (B)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.

¹⁵ Now you Philippians know also that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, ^(A)no church shared with me concerning giving and receiving but you only. ¹⁶ For even in Thessalonica you sent aid once and again for my necessities. ¹⁷ Not that I seek the gift, but I seek ^(B)the fruit that abounds to your account. ¹⁸ Indeed I ^[a]have all and abound. I am full, having received from ^(C)Epaphroditus the things sent from you, ^(D)a sweet-smelling aroma, ^(E)an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God.
