"Concerning the collection for the saints..."
Text: 1 Corinthians 16:1
COLLECTION OF OFFERINGS
Paul had written a long epistle to the Corinthian Church. He had now come to the last chapter. He addressed miscellaneous topics. The tone was no longer corrective. In typical fashion, Paul sought to conclude his epistle with encouraging words of exhortation. One of the topics addressed was the subject of the collection of offerings.
“Now concerning the collection for the saints,
as I have given orders to the churches of Galatia,
so you must do also: On 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.”
1 Corinthians 16:1-2
