Dear friend, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, just as it is well with your soul.

and I always ask in my prayers, if perhaps now at last I may succeed in visiting you according to the will of God.

On the first day of the week, each of you should set aside some income and save it to the extent that God has blessed you, so that a collection will not have to be made when I come.
