This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
According to his ability (καθὼς ηὐπορεῖτό τις)
Lit., according as any one of them was prospered. The verb is from εὔπορος, easy to pass or travel through ; and the idea of prosperity is therefore conveyed under the figure of an easy and favorable journey. The same idea appears in our farewell; fare meaning originally to travel. Hence, to bid one farewell is to wish him a prosperous journey. Compare God-speed. So the idea here might be rendered, as each one fared well.
To send relief (εἰς διακονίαν πέμψαι)
Lit., to send for ministry.
