26 For those in Mac·e·doʹni·a and A·chaʹia*+ have been pleased to share up their things by a contribution+ to the poor of the holy ones in Jerusalem.

16 Now concerning the collection+ that is for the holy ones,+ just as I gave orders to the congregations of Ga·laʹti·a,+ do that way also yourselves.

4 while they of their own accord kept begging us with much entreaty for the [privilege of] kindly giving and for a share in the ministry destined for the holy ones.+

12 because the ministry of this public service is not only to supply abundantly the wants of the holy ones+ but also to be rich with many expressions of thanks to God.
