过了好几年，我回来了，带着给我同胞的施舍，以及供物；

弟兄们，我们要你们明白神在马其顿省各教会中所赐的恩典：在患难的极大考验中，他们的喜乐之满和贫穷之深都流露出来，归入他们慷慨之心的财富。因为我可以见证他们是按着自己的能力，甚至超过了自己的能力，甘心乐意，用许多乞求的话，恳请我们在对圣徒的服事上给与他们恩准和分享的机会；他们不但照我们所盼望的，而且照着神的旨意，首先把自己献给了主，又献给了我们。我们于是劝提多，他怎样开始了这恩惠之事，就当照样在你们那里把它完成；而且你们怎样在信仰、言语、知识、殷勤和你们对我们的爱心上都丰足有余，你们也当怎样在这恩惠之事上丰足有余。我说这话不是出于命令，而是要藉着别人的殷勤来考验你们爱的真诚，因为你们知道我们主耶稣基督的恩典：他虽然富足，却为你们成了贫穷，好使你们藉着他的贫穷可以成为富足。

你们不可忘记行善和分享，因为这样的祭物是蒙神喜悦的。

如果有弟兄或姐妹衣不蔽体，又缺乏日用的食物，而你们当中有人对他们说：“平平安安地去吧！愿你们穿得暖、吃得饱！”，却不给他们身体所需要的，这有什么好处呢？

但如今，我要到耶路撒冷去服事圣徒，因为马其顿省和亚该亚省的信徒，乐意与耶路撒冷圣徒中的穷人有一些分享。确实，他们是乐意的，不过这也是他们的责任，因为外邦人如果分享了犹太人属灵的事，也就应该在物质的事上服事犹太人。

于是门徒们决定，每个人照着自己的能力来捐献，好送到住在犹太的弟兄们那里。他们就这么做了，由巴拿巴和扫罗经手，把所捐献的送到长老们那里。

关于为圣徒收集的事，我从前怎样吩咐加拉太的各教会，你们也当照样做：每周的头一天，你们每个人如果充裕，就应当从中拿出一些积蓄起来，免得我来的时候才开始收集。
