Chapter 25THE POORIN closing his letter to the Corinthians, Paul, as usual, explains his own movements, and adds a number of miscellaneous directions and salutations. These for the most part relate to matters of merely temporary interest, and call for no comment. Interest of a more permanent kind unfortunately attaches to the collection for the poor Christians of Jerusalem which Paul invites the Corinthians to make. Several causes had contributed to this poverty; and, among others, it is not... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 16:1-24

This last chapter forms a fourth division of the book of I Corinthians, with its simple, practical instructions. The unity of the body of Christ is to be expressed in genuine practical care for the needs of each member of the body. At this time, a special need existed among "the poor saints . . . at Jerusalem" (Romans 15:26), evidently the result of a great famine (Acts 11:28-30). At the time this became known by the Corinthians, they "were forward" with desire to supply material help to... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 16:1-24

RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD They were not only questions of casuistry that disturbed this church, but deeper ones especially that of the resurrection of the dead. We may gather the real nature of this difficulty by the manner of Paul’s treatment of it. He dwells on the fact of Christ’s resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:1-11 ), in which he furnished incidentally a definition of the Gospel he preached. This consists of just three counts, Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. The... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 16:19-24

19-24 Christianity by no means destroys civility. Religion should promote a courteous and obliging temper towards all. Those give a false idea of religion, and reproach it, who would take encouragement from it to be sour and morose. And Christian salutations are not mere empty compliments; but are real expressions of good-will to others, and commend them to the Divine grace and blessing. Every Christian family should be as a Christian church. Wherever two or three are gathered together in the... read more

1Co 16 THE LAST DIRECTION of the Apostle in this epistle concerns the special collection being made at that time for poor saints in Judaea. Today in many religious circles money is so often the first topic. Here it is the last. Still it comes in, and instructions of abiding value are given. In verse 1Co_16:2 systematic giving is advocated as opposed to haphazard. Proportionate giving is also what God expects in proportion to the prosperity which God Himself may have given. In Jewish days... read more
