1 Corinthians 16:2-4
New English Translation

2 On the first day of the week, each of you should set aside some income[a] and save[b] it to the extent that God has blessed you,[c] so that a collection will not have to be made[d] when I come. 3 Then, when I arrive, I will send those whom you approve with letters of explanation to carry your gift to Jerusalem. 4 And if it seems advisable that I should go also, they will go with me.

  3. 1 Corinthians 16:2 tn “To the extent that God has blessed you” translates an awkward expression, “whatever has been prospered [to you].” This verb has been translated as an active with “God” as subject, taking it as a divine passive.
