## for the saints ##

Paul was collecting money from his churches for the poor Jewish Christians in Jerusalem and Judea.

## as I directed ##

"as I gave specific instructions"

## store it up ##

Possible meanings are: 1) "keep it at home" or 2) "leave it with the church"

## so that there will be no collections when I come ##

AT: "So that you will not have to collect more money while I am with you."
