2On the first day of the week, each of you is to set something aside and save in keeping with how he is prospering, so that no collections will need to be made when I come.2Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.

11So let no one look down on him. Send him on his way in peace so that he can come to me, because I am expecting him with the brothers.11Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come unto me: for I look for him with the brethren.
12Now about our brother Apollos: I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers, but he was not at all willing to come now.
