“ After an absence of several years, I came to Jerusalem to bring my people gifts for the poor and to present offerings.

“ I was away for several years. Then I came to Jerusalem to bring my people gifts for those who were poor. I also came to offer sacrifices.

Now after several years I came to bring alms to my nation and to present offerings.

“ After several years away, I returned to Jerusalem with money to aid my people and to offer sacrifices to God.

After many years, I came to bring charitable gifts and offerings to my people.

“ Now after many years I came to bring alms and offerings to my nation,

Now after some years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings:

After many years, I came to bring charitable gifts and offerings to my nation,

Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings.

After several years I came to bring to my people gifts for the poor and to present offerings,

Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings;

They only asked us to remember the poor— the very thing I also was eager to do.

Now, brothers and sisters, we make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the churches of Macedonia,that in a great ordeal of affliction their abundance of joy and their deep poverty overflowed in the wealth of their liberality.For I testify that according to their ability, and beyond their ability, they gave voluntarily,begging us with much urging for the favor of participation in the support of the saints,

but now, I am going to Jerusalem, serving the saints.For Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.For they were pleased to do so, and they are indebted to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they are indebted to do them a service also in material things.Therefore, when I have finished this, and have put my seal on this fruit of theirs, I will go on by way of you to Spain.

For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus so that he would not have to lose time in Asia; for he was hurrying, if it might be possible for him to be in Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.

And to the extent that any of the disciples had means, each of them determined to send a contribution for the relief of the brothers and sisters living in Judea.And they did this, sending it with Barnabas and Saul to the elders.

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.

Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you are to do as well.On the first day of every week, each of you is to put aside and save as he may prosper, so that no collections need to be made when I come.When I arrive, whomever you approve, I will send them with letters to take your gift to Jerusalem;and if it is appropriate for me to go also, they will go with me.

For it is superfluous for me to write to you about this ministry to the saints;for I know your willingness, of which I boast about you to the Macedonians, namely, that Achaia has been prepared since last year, and your zeal has stirred up most of them.

Therefore, be on the alert, remembering that night and day for a period of three years I did not cease to admonish each one with tears.

Then Paul took along the men, and the next day, after purifying himself together with them, he went into the temple giving notice of the completion of the days of purification, until the sacrifice was offered for each one of them.

that I may be rescued from those who are disobedient in Judea, and that my service for Jerusalem may prove acceptable to the saints;

For the ministry of this service is not only fully supplying the needs of the saints, but is also overflowing through many thanksgivings to God.
