I don't think Ray said anything about these verses in his paper on tithing. 1 Corinthians 16:1-4
Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.
Upon 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.
And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.
And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.
I agree very much with Ray on tithing, but what do these verses mean? Why was money being collected? YLT seems to change key words, so what is correct?
And concerning the collection that is for the saints, as I directed to the assemblies of Galatia, so also ye--do ye;
on every first day of the week, let each one of you lay by him, treasuring up whatever he may have prospered, that when I may come then collections may not be made;
and whenever I may come, whomsoever ye may approve, through letters, these I will send to carry your favour to Jerusalem;
and if it be meet for me also to go, with me they shall go.
Thanks
