16 Now here are the directions about the money you are collecting to send to the Christians in Jerusalem;^[a] (and, by the way, these are the same directions I gave to the churches in Galatia). ² On every Lord’s Day each of you should put aside something from what you have earned during the week, and use it for this offering. The amount depends on how much the Lord has helped you earn. Don’t wait until I get there and then try to collect it all at once.
