58Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

1Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given orders to the churches of Galatia, so you must do also:

2On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper, that there be no collections when I come.

3And when I come, whomever you approve by your letters I will send to bear your gift to Jerusalem.

27After these things He went out and saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, 'Follow Me.'

28So he left all, rose up, and followed Him.

29Then Levi gave Him a great feast in his own house. And there were a great number of tax collectors and others who sat down with them.

30And their scribes and the Pharisees complained against His disciples, saying, 'Why do You eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?'

31Jesus answered and said to them, 'Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.

32I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.'
