²⁵ but now, ^(A)I am going to Jerusalem, ^(B)serving the ^[a]saints. ²⁶ For ^(C)Macedonia and ^(D)Achaia have been pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the ^[b]saints in Jerusalem. ²⁷ For they were pleased to do so, and they are indebted to them. For ^(E)if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they are indebted to do them a service also in material things. ²⁸ Therefore, when I have finished this, and ^(F)have ^[c]put my seal on this fruit of theirs, I will ^(G)go on by way of you to Spain.

Instructions and Greetings

16 Now concerning ^(A)the collection for ^[a](B)the saints, as ^(C)I directed the churches of ^(D)Galatia, so you are to do as well. ² On ^(E)the first day of every week, each of you is to ^[b]put aside and save as he may prosper, so that ^(F)no collections need to be made when I come. ³ When I arrive, ^(G)whomever you approve, I will send them with letters to take your gift to Jerusalem; ⁴ and if it is appropriate for me to go also, they will go with me.

²⁹ And to the extent that any of ^(A)the disciples had means, each of them determined to send a contribution for the ^[a]relief of ^(B)the brothers and sisters living in Judea. ^30 (C)And they did this, sending it ^[b]with ^(D)Barnabas and Saul to the ^(E)elders.
