In a context such as this, your language might say “went” instead of came. Alternate translation: [went]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

εἰς τὸ ἔθνος μου

to the nation ˱of˲_me

Paul is actually referring to the place where the people of the Jewish nation live. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the place where my Jewish people live]

By alms Paul means gifts for the poor that the Gentile churches had collected and that he was delivering.

Alternate translation: [to bring gifts for the poor and to offer sacrifices at the end of a vow period]
