“我离开耶路撒冷已有多年，这次回来是带着捐款要周济同胞，并献上祭物。

弟兄姊妹，我们现在要让你们知道上帝向马其顿各教会所施的恩典。他们虽然遭遇极大的患难，受尽熬炼，却充满了喜乐，在极度贫穷的情况下仍然十分慷慨乐捐。我可以证明，他们是甘心乐意，尽其所能地捐助，甚至超过了自己的能力。他们恳切地求我们准许他们与有需要的圣徒分享上帝的恩典。他们这样做超过了我们的期望，并且他们按照上帝的旨意首先把自己献给主，然后献给我们。所以，我们劝提多要继续完成他早先在你们当中开始的这件善事。你们既然在信心、口才、知识、热心和对我们的爱心上都有突出的表现，也要在这件善事上有突出的表现。我说这话并非命令你们，而是借着别人的热心考验一下你们爱心的真伪。因为你们知道我们主耶稣基督的恩典，祂本来富足，却为你们的缘故变得贫穷，使你们借着祂的贫穷可以变得富足。

不可忘记行善和帮补别人，因为这样的祭是上帝所喜悦的。

如果有弟兄姊妹缺衣少食，你们只是对他们说：“安心走吧，愿你们穿得暖，吃得饱”，却不帮助他解决实际困难，这有什么用呢？

但现在我要去耶路撒冷服侍当地的圣徒，因为马其顿和亚该亚的教会欣然捐出了财物给耶路撒冷的穷困圣徒。这固然是他们慷慨解囊，但也可以说是他们该还的债。外族人既然分享了犹太圣徒属灵的福分，现在以物质报答他们也是应该的。

门徒决定各尽所能，捐款救济住在犹太境内的弟兄姊妹。他们捐完后，委托巴拿巴和扫罗将款项送交耶路撒冷教会的长老。

至于捐款帮助圣徒这件事，你们可以照我吩咐加拉太各教会的方法办理。每逢周日，各人应按照自己的收入抽出一部分留起来，免得我到的时候才现凑。
